Module Eight Lesson Two Pathway Two Activity Directions: In this activity, you will learn more about biomes by completing a webquest. Download this document, fill in your answers, and upload it through the submission link. You should write in complete sentences. Link 1: https://www.earthobservatory.nasa.gov/experiments/biome/biotundra.php 1. What is the temperature range for this biome?The average temperature for this biome is -40c and 18c. 2. What is the average precipitation? The average precipitation for a tundra biome is 6 to 8 inches. 3. Give three examples of plants that live here. There is not much plants due to the cold and permafrost but there are shrubs,grasses,and mosses that live here. 4. Where is the tundra located? Tundra is located south of the icecapes. 5. Describe permafrost. Permafrost is where a think layer of soil is frosted throughout the year and it cause plants not be able to grow. 6. Why are there no trees in the tundra? Tundras are found at high latitudes and altitudes where there is a thin layer of active permafrost. The thin layer cannot support the trees roots. Link 2: https://www.earthobservatory.nasa.gov/experiments/biome/bioconiferous.php 1. What is the temperature range for this biome? The average temperature for this biome is -40c to 20c. 2. What is the average precipitation? The average precipitation is about 12 to 35 inches per year. 3. What types of plants live here? Some trees called Coniferous-evergreen trees live in this biome. 4. Where is this biome located? This biome is located in Canada. Europe, Asia, and the United States. 5. What is a conifer? A tree that bears cone and needle-like leaves. Link 3: https://www.earthobservatory.nasa.gov/experiments/biome/biograssland.php 1. What is the temperature range for this biome?Depending on the latitude the temperature can be from -20c to 30c. 2. What is the average precipitation? The average precipitation is 20 to 35 inches a year. 3. Give three examples of plants that live here. Three plants that live there is salvia, oats, and wheat. 4. Where is this biome located? This biome can be found in every continent except antarctica.

5. What is special about the roots of the plants in this biome? Link 4: https://www.earthobservatory.nasa.gov/experiments/biome/biodesert.php 1. What is the temperature range for this biome? During the day the temperature is usually a little over 100 F, but at night the temperature can drop all the way down to 25 F. 2. What is the average precipitation? The average amount of precipitation oer year is about 10 inches. 3. Give three examples of plants that live here. Three plants that live there ares cacti, small shrubs and grasses. 4. Where is this biome located? 5. Why does the temperature change so drastically in the desert? Because during the day the sand is getting really hot and at night the sun is not shining and the temperature drop dramatically. 6. How are desert plants adapted to their location? Desert plants are used to going long periods of time without water by usually storing it. Link 5: https://www.earthobservatory.nasa.gov/experiments/biome/biotemperate.php 1. What is the temperature range for this biome? Ther average temperature is anywhere from -30c to 30c. 2. What is the average precipitation? The average precipitation is anywhere from 30-59 inches. 3. Give three examples of plants that live here. Three plants that live there are broadleaf trees, shrubs and grasses. 4. Where is this biome located? Eastern Unites States, Canada, China, and Japan are some of the locations that this biome is located. 5. Why does this biome have four seasons? 6. Why do the trees in this biome lose their leaves? They lose their leaves so that they can keep on living. Link 6: https://www.earthobservatory.nasa.gov/experiments/biome/biorainforest.php 1. What is the temperature range for this biome? The average temperature is 20c to 25 c. 2. What is the average precipitation? The average amount of precipitation is 79 to 394 inches a year. 3. Give three examples of plants that live here. Three examples of of plants that live in this biome are vines, shrubs, and ferns. 4. Where is the biome located? It is located between the tropics of cancer and the tropics of capricorn. 5. Describe the two types of rainforests.Tropical rainforest are found closer to the equator while the others are temperate are found further from the equator near coastal areas. 6.
