    This document discusses terrestrial biomes and their characteristics. It explains that biomes are primarily defined by their plant life and are grouped according to temperature and precipitation patterns. Latitude affects climate, with areas closer to the equator receiving more direct sunlight and heat. The document then lists nine major terrestrial biomes and provides instructions for creating a poster on one biome, requiring details on its location, climate, vegetation, fauna, and a description.

    What does terrestrial mean?
    Weather- day to day condi8ons of the
    atmosphere in a specic place

    Climate- Average weather condi8ons
    over a long period of 8me.
    La8tudes eect on Climate
    La,tude- distance from the equator

    Light strikes Earth more directly closer
    to the equator focusing the heat
    energy. Further from the equator the
    heat is spread over a larger surface.
    Biome Characteris8cs

    Biomes are characterized


    primarily according to their
    plants.

    They are also grouped according
    to temperature and precipita8on
    Biomes-
    Tundra
    Boreal forest/Taiga
    Temperate forest
    Woodlands/Chaparral
    Grasslands/Prairies/Savannahs
    Desert
    Tropical Savanna
    Tropical Seasonal forest (Tropical Dry Forest)
    Tropical Rainforest
    Polar Regions
    Biome Poster- 3 points in each category.

    Neatness & Illustra8on- picture or image
    Loca8on- describe the loca8on of your biome.
    Climate- temperature and precipita8on. Seasons?
    Vegeta8on- What types of plants grow there?
    Fauna- What types of animals live there?
    Describe the biome- What is it like there?

    Extra Credit: Up to 2 points- describe an adapta8on that an
    organism has that helps it survive in this biome.
