Climate Zones Wesley Eldred, #6 Mr. Fabel 12/14/12 7 th period

WWK We Will Know The Different Climate Zone In The World; Such As Tundra, Deserts, Rain Forest, and more.

The Different Climate Zones Desert Tundra Rain Forest Grassland Alpine

Desert This is a climate zone that is either really hot or really cold. Mostly located near the equator, with some being in Australia. Sahara Desert is the biggest one on earth.

Tundra The Frozen Tundra, it is the newest biome in the world. Located in the North part of North America and Russia. Experiencing mostly the seasons of winter and summer through out the year.

Rain Forest Filled with Tall Trees and rainfall The Amazon Rain Forest is the biggest one on earth In South America, Middle Africa, and The Islands off of Asia

Grassland These are large fields of grass This is where wolfs, turkeys, coyotes, crickets call home In North America and Eurasia

Alpine Found in the mountains; it is a cold, snowy, windy climate The Rockies, the Himalayas and the Alpes

Climate interactions Jonathan Nguyen #14 Mr.Fabel 7 th period Unit 9

WWK We will know the effect of climate interactions and biosphere.

Define weather What is weather? State of are atmosphere cause by unequal heating of air.

Oceans and cause of weather climate. Do oceans have a affect on the weather? True Oceans have a major impact on the cause of are weather conditions that happen. Because of the heat and moisture that it can contain. Sometimes it can cause for example: hurricanes typhoons

The sun and climate interactions What can the sun do to are climate and interactions? It causes the air to warm up that creates different air pressures. Wind is where both low and high pressure come together.

Biosphere What is biosphere? Are biosphere is our living world, and how all are sphere interact. Hydrosphere: Water Atmosphere: Air Lithosphere: Ground Ecosphere: All three
