What is a Biome ?

a______________________________________________________________________________
natural piece of land which has flora and fauna and its own habitat. .

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follows :

Biomes , climate and vegetation vary with the latitude and altitude . As latitude and altitude
increase the climate and vegetation also changes . For example the trees of tropical rain
forests usually grow closer to the equator . While the mosses and lichens of the Tundra
usually grow close to the poles . The land located in the temperate region of the world
between about 30 to 60 degree north latitude and 30 to 60 degree south latitude is where
most of the food in the world is grown . This region include biomes such as temperate forests
and grasslands , which usually have moderate temperatures and fertile soil that is ideal for
agriculture .
Where do we find temperate regions of the world ?
__________________________________________________________________________
we find temperate region of the world from 30 to 60 degree north latitude and 30 to 60 degree south
latitude.
__________________________________________________________________________
_______________ .
Name any one biome located in the temperate region .
__________________________________________________________________________
Greenland
__________________________________________________________________________
______________ .

Compare the vegetation near the poles and vegetation near the equator .
__________________________________________________________________________
Near the poles = they support lichen or mosses
= very poor vegetation due to very cold climatic condition and snow throughout the year
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
Near the equator = they support tropical rain forest and the trees like rubber tree, banana tree, etc.
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
=very long and have broad leaves to obtain sunlight
__________________________________________________________________________
=hot and humid temperature, very warm and wet in temperature
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________ .

Why is the temperate region of the world a good place to grow food ? Give examples .
__________________________________________________________________________
temperate region have the most fertile soil among the tundra and equator region, which supports
most of the plants and trees then tundra or equator region. They also has the best temperature
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
consisting of warm and plentifully of rainfall
_______________________ .
Explain the relationship between temperature , Vegetation and moisture . Give your answer
with respect to Desert and rainforest biome .
__________________________________________________________________________
Desert biome rainforest biome
__________________________________________________________________________
temperature desert have very hot temperature in day rainforest have a warm an humid
and in night extremely cols tempreture temperature
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
Vegetation vegetation is very less here. Only shrubs vegetation here is the most among
like cactus, etc grow here which have the 2 other region. Many trees and plant
__________________________________________________________________________
thorns which prevent water loss. grow here like rubber, banana, etc. which
___________________________________________________________________________________________
have broad leaves and are tall to absorb
most of the sunlight
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Moisture there is very less moisture due less there is a lot of moiture present in
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
_____ . amount of water present here this regeion as this region is always
wet and humid
Examine the following description and answer the questions that follow :
Plant 1: Is tall , with broad leaves that turn colour in autumn .
Plant 2 has waxy coating ,spines and a long and shallow root system .
Plant 3 has needle like leaves and a cone shape .
What is the common name of plant 1 and which biome is most suitable for its growth.?

read maple tree. found in deciduous forest

____________________________________________________________________________ .
What is the common name of plant 2 and in which biome it is grown ?

cactus. found in desert

_____________________________________________________________________________ .
Explain the conditions suitable for the growth of plant 3 .

plant 3 is coniferous tree. they have neddle like leaves and a cone shape so that snow doesn't stay on
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
their leaves. the temperature is extremely cold here with snow throughout the year
