  2. Name of BiomeGeography & Climate • Location-Deserts take up 1/5 of the Earth’s surface. • Description-Most deserts are hot and dry but some are cold like Antarctica. • Soil Type-Sand. • Precipitation-3 to 5 inches a year. • Temperature Range-55 to 110. • Climate- Hot, very little rain.

  3. DesertBiodiversity • A Desert’s plant species include Cacti, Creosote Brush ,Sage Brush , and Ocotillo. • Today there are at least 1500 known species in a Desert.

  4. DesertAdaptations Needed for Survival • The Cactus has adapted to a Desert by gaining a waxy coating to keep water inside. • The Kangaroo Rat has developed the ability to not have to drink water because it gains enough nutrients from the plants it eats.

  5. DesertInteractions of Biotic and Abiotic • Biotic-Owls have adapted to dig nests into cacti for protection and water. • Abiotic-Lizards bask on rocks to keep their body temperature warm.

  6. What is Biodiversity? • Biodiversity is the many different species and organisms in a biome ,habitat, or environment.

  7. How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of an ecosystem? • Use the handout given in class to answer the question above. • Without biodiversity a habitat could over-populate or not have enough organisms.
