Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? Why should humans be concerned with the extinction rate? In my own opinion No but as u read more about it some things need to be preserved. For instance animals help the crops of the foods that we eat. Snakes help to cure different diseases. Humans help the plants and animals to grow. The fact that human beings are a species means that they depend on many other species

certain biomes require fire to germinate and adapt to living under these conditions‚ therefore humans have to ignite fires to maintain the routine of fire in fire-scarce biomes. The biomes of South Africa that fire plays the most important role in are the Fynbos‚ Savanna‚ and Grassland biomes. There are four other biomes that rarely burn. Fire is the most important in the Fynbos biome; the reasons will be touched upon in the following paragraph. Fynbos (fine-leaved bush) biome This biome describes

to water-saturated soil. Some wetlands are inundated at all times‚ whereas others flood infrequently. Wetlands are home to a diverse community of invertebrates‚ which in turn support a wide variety of birds. Wetlands are among the most productive biomes on Earth. Their water-saturated soils favor the growth of plants such as floating pond lilies and emergent cattails‚ many sedges‚ tamarack‚ and black spruce‚ which have adaptations enabling them to grow in water or in soil that is periodically anaerobic

The Sahara Desert is located in the northern portion of Africa and covers over 3‚500‚000 square miles (9‚000‚000 sq km) or roughly 10% of the continent (image). It is bounded in the east by the Red Sea and it stretches west to the Atlantic Ocean. To the north‚ the Sahara Desert’s northern boundary is the Mediterranean Sea‚ while in the south it ends at the Sahel‚ an area where the desert landscape transforms into a semi-arid tropical savanna. Since the Sahara Desert makes up nearly 10% of the African

‘The characteristics of the vegetation of tropical biomes are more the outcome of continued human activity than a response to the climatic conditions’. With reference to one tropical biome‚ discuss the extent to which you agree with this view. (40 marks) A tropical biome is a large community of plants and animals that occupy a distinct region. Tropical biomes are mostly located within the tropics‚ between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn and currently cover less than 5% of the Earth’s

Now on to the next Desert‚ situated along the border of America (Arizona and California) and Mexico lies another important region the Sonoran Desert. The Sonoran occupies 100‚000 square miles along the two countries. The Sonoran is the result of a rain shadow desert being bordered by the Peninsular Ranges in California as well as being in a latitude around 30 being effected by the Subtropical high. The Subtropical high is an area from the 20 -40 latitude where air subsides by compression leading

It is in my personal opinion the greatest biome that exists in today’s world. This biome is home to 50% of the plants and animals on the Earth. The Tropical Rainforest is present on just 2% of the world. The Rainforest is home to many different species of animals. Some of them include butterflies‚ beetles‚ spiders‚ ticks‚ worms‚ snakes‚ lizards‚ jaguars
