  1. Temperate Forest

  2. Temperate Forest Geography: • Northern Hemisphere • Southern Hemisphere Climate and Temperature: • Cool, rainy areas • Avg. temperature is 75 • 2-5 feet of precipitation • Humid Biotic Factors: • Trees lose leaves in Fall • Large variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers • Large variety of animals: Bears, deer, rabbits, eagles, wolves, frogs, snakes, lizards, and mice

  3. Desert

  4. Desert Geography: • One fifths of earth’s land Climate and Temperature: • Less than 10 in of rain a year- very dry • Extreme heat during day and cold during night Biotic Factors: • Plants with small leaves- cacti and grasses • Many nocturnal animals • Coyotes, snakes, spiders etc.

  5. Tropical Rainforest

  6. Tropical Rainforest Geography: • Found in mountains, valleys and flat lands • Usually near equator Climate and Temperature: • Year around warmth • Avg. of 50-260 in of rain • High heat and humidity Biotic Factors: • Most animal and plant diversity • Monkeys, panthers, birds, frogs, iguanas, many insects • Plants with large leaves

  7. Taiga

  8. Taiga Geography: • Northern Hemisphere • Largest biome on Earth Climate and Temperature: • Cold harsh climate • Low precipitation Biotic Factors: • Deer, moose, wolves , rabbits, bears • Plants are mostly pine trees- always green and never lose leaves

  9. Tundra

  10. Tundra Geography: • Always found near the North Pole Climate and Temperature: • Cold, treeless area • Little precipitation • Coldest biome Biotic Factors: • Arctic foxes, polar bears, wolves, owls • Few plants due to frozen ground

  11. Temperate Grassland
