31. Biomes:  What makes a biome?

32. Biomes:  What makes a biome? –Biomes are determined based primarily on climate.

33. Biomes:  What makes a biome? –Biomes are determined based primarily on climate.  Climate includes temperature and precipitation and is the typical weather pattern over a long period of time.

34. Biomes:  How does it work?

35. Biomes:  How does it work? –Climate determines the kinds of plant species that can survive.

36. Biomes:  How does it work? –Climate determines the kinds of plant species that can survive. –Plants determine the kinds of animals that can survive.

37. Biomes:  Biodiversity:

38. Biomes:  Biodiversity: Includes the variations within a species, the variety of species and habitat types within an area.

39. Biomes:  Biodiversity: Includes the variations within a species, the variety of species and habitat types within an area.  Limiting Factors:

40. Biomes:  Biodiversity: Includes the variations within a species, the variety of species and habitat types within an area.  Limiting Factors: Any factor that prevent a population from growing larger.
