Presentation Transcript

  1. Deep Sea Biome Lauryn Mitchell, Tai Schroeder, Katherine Truong

  2. ABIOTIC Factors: Light: Very dark/ no sunlight Temperature: 2-4 degrees Celsius Pressure: ranges from 20atm to over 1,000atm Oxygen: oxygen-poor environment Turbidity: High, lots of sediment Nutrients: A lot (mostly from dead organisms)

  3. BIOTIC Factors: HUMAN INTERACTION Deep Sea Trawling: -Reduces the biodiversity -Destroys the coral reefs -Ruins habitats -Takes away soil nutrients -Over fishing Offshore Oil Drilling: • Destroys habitats • creates potential risk of oil spill (BP) • Beached Whales (sonar hurts ears) • Ruins deep sea coral

  4. Adaptations: PRODUCERS Bacteria: -use volcanic vents -hydrogen sulfide -tube worms Deep Sea Plankton: -flat bodies and spines Deep Sea Coral: -attach themselves on a solid surface -rely on ocean current -grow tall to catch krill and other food

  5. Adaptations: CONSUMERS Anglerfish: -reproductive adaptation Fang tooth: -big mouth without a jaw -strong sense of smell Hagfish: -strong sense of smell and touch because of bad eye sight

  6. Tundra Biome

  7. ABIOTIC Factors -Strong winds -Rainfall -Permafrost -Soil -Short summer days and long winter days

  8. BIOTIC: HUMAN INTERACTION Air Pollution/ Smog: Contaminates the lichen which provides food for many animals in the tundra decreases biodiversity Destroys habitats Oil, Gas and Mineral Exploration: Ruins habitats Creates a risk of an oil spill Disturbs the physical landscape as well as the ecosystem

  9. Adaptation: PRODUCERS Furry or waxy coating on leaves - resists cold and wind - ex. Woolly lousewort Retains dead leaves - protect against wind and cold Low growing - stays out of wind chill - ex. Bearberry

  10. Adaptations: CONSUMERS Feathers/Fur - reduces heat loss/ resists cold - ex. Ptarmigan Short appendages - reduces heat loss/ resists cold - ex. Arctic Fox Alaskan blackfish - can lower the freezing temperature of its cell fluids
