Question

ees unit 1 biosphere test
name: brisa - patricio

1. which biome would result from an area that has an annual precipitation of 150 cm and average temperature of 10°c?

annual precipitation vs. temperature for various biomes
chart: x - axis average temperature (°c) from - 10 to 30, y - axis annual precipitation (cm) from 0 to 400; biomes labeled: taiga, temperate rain forest, temperate forest, tropical rain forest, tropical seasonal forest, woodland and shrubland, grassland, desert, tundra
a. taiga
b. temperate forest
c. grassland
d. tundra

1. which of the following is true?

a. grasslands are cooler and drier than the taiga
b. tundra is wetter than the taiga.
c. deserts are always hot and dry, day and night.
d. tropical rainforests are always found near the equator

1. which of the following statements about grasslands is true?

a. grasslands receive more rainfall as the taiga but arent as warm.
b. grasslands would turn into the tropical rain forest but receive more precipitation.
c. grasslands are colder than deciduous forests if they received more precipitation.
d. grasslands exist within a very narrow temperature range, yet experience a wide range of precipitation.

1. overpopulation occurs when a population exceeds its carrying capacity. white - tailed deer are considered to be an overpopulated species in the central united states. what is one consequence of white - tailed deer exceeding their carrying capacity?

a. the deer are less healthy and more prone to disease.
b. a decrease in the predator population that eat the deer.

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the biome, we analyze the graph. The area has 150 cm annual precipitation and 10°C average temp. Temperate forest (option b) matches: Taiga has lower temp/precip, Grassland less precip, Tundra cold/low precip.

• Option a: Grasslands are warmer than taiga (taiga is cold), so false.
• Option b: Tundra is drier than taiga, false.
• Option c: Deserts can be cold at night, false.
• Option d: Tropical rainforests are near equator (high temp/precip), true.

• Option a: Grasslands have less rain than taiga? No, taiga is cold with moderate precip, grasslands: if they got more rain, they could become deciduous forests (option c). Option b: Tropical rainforest needs higher temp/precip. Option d: Grasslands have moderate temp range. So c is true.

Answer:

b. Temperate Forest
