square kilometers. Another great difference is the climate. Firstly‚ Cairo has a desert climate. The annual temperature range is 19oC – 35oC. In addition‚ the annual rainfall adds up to only 2.5 centimeters. For these reasons‚ the Cairo’s weather is hot in summer and cold in winter. In contrast‚ Bangkok’s climate is tropical. The annual temperature range is from 25oC to 30oC. Besides‚ Bangkok has a heavy annual rainfall‚ with 150 centimeters. Therefore‚ there are two distinct seasons namely the wet

abnormally dry period when there is not enough water for users’ normal needs. Drought is not simply low rainfall; if it was‚ much of inland Australia would be in almost perpetual drought. Because people use water in so many different ways‚ there is no universal definition of drought. Drought occurs because rains are unreliable and in some years the ITCZ (Inner Tropical Convergence Zone = area of rainfall) may not move so far north. Thus hot‚ dry tropical continental air dominates for the whole year.

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Rare and much more fascinating than any other snake in its biome the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake is a heavy bodied snake with a rectangular shaped head and two dark diagonal lines on each side of its face running from the eyes to its jaws. With its dark diamond shaped patterned back and black and white bands just above its rattles. This intriguing and luring skin texture is pretty to look at however it is a venomous pit viper found in the southwest. Their name

Land based ecosystems = terrestrial ecosystems or biomes. (Forests‚ deserts‚ grasslands). Differences between terrestrial ecosystems primarily arise from variations in average temperature and precipitation. Water based ecosystems = aquatic ecosystems.

design strategies that positioned themselves to be heavily dependent on reservoirs for water. The Mayans made the decision to develop a civilization in a seasonal desert that depended on a consistent rainfall cycle to support agricultural production. Then‚ they engineered a reservoir system that ultimately depended on seasonal rainfall because much of the lowlands had only restricted natural groundwater resources. For agricultural strategies‚ the short-fallow slash-and-burn agriculture method‚
