Temperature and precipitation

The soils in the tropical rainforest are

Thin and nutrient poor

which of the following has the lowest albedo?

black topsoil

biomes consists largely of coniferous forests at high altitude?

boreal forest

The______is characterized by low temps year round nutrient poor, and little precipitation which usually occurs as snow

boreal forest/taiga

el nino and la nina

both result in changes in global temperature and precipitation patterns

rainforests

can either be temperate or tropical

not true about el nino

causes increased upwelling

coriolis effect is responsible for

deflection of atmospheric and oceanic currents

what are latitudes characterized by

descending air currents

Which biome gets less than 25 cm of rainfall a year?

dessert

Humans

disturbed half the world terrestrials, cause greatest species loss, and redirected 40% of net productivity

the boreal forest is

dominated by coniferous trees

chaparral is

drought adapted shrub-land and biodiversity hotspot

the global circulation pattern that dominates the tropics is called

hadley

requirements of monsoon except?

heating and cooling rates between the oceans and the continents that are equal

Estuaries are characterized by

highly productive, home to diversity of species, important nurseries for fish and other species

regional climates are most influenced by

latitude and altitude

Biomes exhibit _______ patterns in habitat characteristics.

latitude, longitudinal, and altitudinal

leeward side of the mountain range, one would expect

less clouds and less rain

aquatic ecosystems typically show changes in______with increased depth

light availability, oxygen availability, and nutrient availability

Grasslands typically lack trees because seedlings have difficulty surviving the

low rainfall, frequent fires, and high temperatures

which of the following does not characterize a tropical forest?

nutrient rich ad pH neutral soil

The most important factor in determining the type of biome to develop in a given area to those listed is

precipitation

gyres do NOT

temperate grassland are

rich soils, often converted to farmland, and mixture of grasses and forbs

which of the following contribute to unequal heating of the earth>

sunlight variation, amount of sunlight, and angle of sunlight

support rich biodiversity, retain stormwater, and essential to bird diversity

The category of wetland that always contains trees is the

swamp

which of the following is not one of the main terrestrial biomes?

temperate bush

Summer in the Northern Hemisphere is warmer primarily because of

tilt of earth's axis, and reduce albedo

top predators are usually not checked in growth and can grow exponentially

zone of atmosphere where weather occurs

troposphere

order of atmospheric layers

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere

Conifers are associated with all but

tundra

which biome is characterized by a short growing season, harsh winters, no trees, mostly migratory animal species, and less than 10in of rain

tundra

High productivity and nutrient availability in the ocean occurs in areas with

upwelling
