Reading Material: Realms of the Earth Astro-physicists and scientists believe that there could be quite a few planets in the Universe similar to our planet Earth. There is also a probable chance that some form of life prevails and sustains in one of such planet. However‚ so far as we presently know‚ the Earth is the only planet which supports life which makes it a very unique planet. It is therefore imperative (very important and necessary) for us to understand the spheres of the Earth as the spheres

Calypso felt he was getting close.

Pleistocene biome migration in response to multiple glaciations‚ the accordian effect‚ is a classic example of this model (Wright‚ 1984). In contrast‚ Wright (1984) further explained that the individualist expects each species experiencing similar

The Island of Madagascar consists of three different biomes‚ being tropical dry forest‚ tropical rain forest‚ and desert. In a tropical rain forest biome temperatures remain warm thought the year and precipitation occurs on an almost daily basis. This type of biome contains three levels of vegetation and only about two or three

Ecology Essay African lions play a big role in the ecosystem. They are at the top of the food chain and are responsible for 85% of predation in their habitat. They prey on herbivores such as buffalo‚ antelope and zebras. The African lion’s biome is in the tropical grassland and their habitat is the grassy plains of the African savanna. Without the lion‚ the ecosystem would be unbalanced and unstable. The African lion‚ being at the top of the food chain‚ interacts with other organisms in many

If you are a biologist interested in working in the tropical rainforest‚ briefly describe a research study you could complete at each level in the biological hierarchy‚ starting from the organismal level to the biosphere. 2. What are the two abiotic variables that dictate type of terrestrial biome? Do aquatic and marine systems rely on the same two variables? Why or why not? 3. Which of the terrestrial biomes is the most vulnerable to anthropogenic

there are cold ocean currents. Each region in which the Mediterranean shrublands and woodlands occur is island-like in character and thus there is frequently a high degree of endemism. Comparative studies of the several regional expressions of this biome reveal interesting examples of convergent evolution in plant families and birds (but not among reptiles or small mammals) on the different continents. Climate: The Mediterranean Climate (Cs) is unique in that the wet season coincides with the low
