1.

Some of the biotic factors of this biome consist of huge populations of herbivores of different sizes (birds, rodents, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeest, gazelles, etc), as well as carnivores such as wild dogs, lions, leopards, eagles, and scavengers such as vultures, jackals, and hyenas. The dominant vegetation is grass. The abiotic factors are a mostly dry weather with big seasonal rains, a hot temperature, and occasional fires.

The previous paragraph is a description of which biome?

The following are non-living factors typically found on the desert biome:

3.

Receives less than 25 cm. of rain per year. Very dry and warm climate. Animals & plants store water to adapt to the lack of rain. Animals are active at night & plants have a thick & waxy covering.

Compare the Temperate Grassland vs the Savanna. Drag the correct descriptions under the correct biome. Number next to it is how many answers you should have! Watch out for the BOTH section!

  • hot summers, cold winters

  • near the equator

  • prairie dogs/bison/rodents

  • zebra/rhino/giraffe

  • grasses and some trees

  • primarily covered with grasses

  • nutrient rich soils, good for farming

  • adequate regular precipitation

  • distinct wet and dry periods

  • Great range of temperature

  • nutrient poor soil for farming

  • fires and droughts
