Document Summary
Introductory biology 152, lec 3 -- discussion homework week of feb. 1, 2010: on the map of the hypothetical continent, indicate the location(s) of the biomes listed in the table below. To do this, draw approximate boundary lines to delimit each biome type, and then label each delimited area with the type of biome it contains. 25-29 c, 200-400 cm: in the table indicate the annual temperature and precipitation ranges for each biome. Biome type: tropical rainforest(s, temperate grasslands, chaparral. 30-10 c, 20-60 cm (may exceed 100 cm in alpine tundra) A hypothetical continent: atmospheric circulation is driven primarily by differential heating of earth"s surface. More heat is delivered near the equator than near the poles. This seems to explain the northward and southward flows of air. What introduces the eastward and westward components into air movement? (hint: review figure 52. 10, global air circulation and. Precipitation patterns and global wind patterns, in biology, 8th edition. )
