We will talk about the Biomes first. There are seven biomes. The desert, taiga, grassland, tundra, mountain, temperate decidous forest, and the tropical rainforest. These are all "Terrestrial Biomes" meaning land biomes not water biomes.

//__**Taiga:**__// __Temperature__: Average=50*F __Precipitation__: 12-33 inches of rain each year __Location__: Alaska, Canada, Russia,etc... __Animals__: the american black bears -long winters -icy, cold, lots and lorts of snow -lowest temp. is -65*F wow...... that is cooold

//__**Temperate Grassland:**__// __Tempertaure__: Summer: 70*F Winter: -40*F __Precipitation__: 10-30 inches per year __Location__: Argentina, South America, Russia, Ukraine __Animals__:coyotes, eagles, bobcats, Dung Beetles, etc... - average summers, average winters - no trees can grow - there are some rare species of plants

//__**Desert**__//: __Temperature__: Hot Deserts: 43.5-49*C Dry Deserts: 20-25*C __Precipitation__: 15 cm a year! __Location__: all around the world. Africa, Arizona, Asia, etc... __Animals__: foxes, snakes, tortoises, lizards - long summers, very short winters - Gobi Desert: long winters, short summers! - long and hot, very dry! - some deserts can have snow!

__//**Tundra**//__: __Temperature__: -18*F - (-28*C) __Precipitation__: 6-10 inches __Location__: Greenland, Russia, etc... __Animals__: polar bears, foxes, seals, lynxs - no summers, long winters - very cold and snowy - temperature can drop up to -97*F - the youngest biome

__//**Temperte Deciduous Forest:**//__ __Temperature__: 50*F __Precipitation__: 30-60 inches __Location__: Chile, Russia, Japan, North America, etc... __Animals__: almost anything! Marsupials, squirrels, snakes, moose, deer, fishies, herons, bugs, insects, etc... - average summers, average winters - has lots of colorful trees on Fall and Autumn - has the most coomon biome __//**Savanna:**//__ __Temperature__: warm, 70*F __Precipitation__: 15-25 inches __Location__: Africa, South America Animals: lions, elephants, tigers, wilda beasts, lizards, falcons, hippos, crocodiles, etc... - flast, grassy, no trees at all, - trees cannot grow here - HAS ELEPHANTS!

__Temperature:__ 75*F __Precipitaion__: 50- 260 inches of "RAIN" each year __Location__: near the equator Animals: MONKEYS, snakes, alligators, tropical birds, fishies, rare frogs and animals! - long summers, no winters - canopy, has very very long trees that can reach up to 100 ft.! - has the most different variety of species in one biome
 * //__Tropical Rainforest:__//**

=**Food Web**= a system of interlocking and interdependant food chains



The sun is the most important object for a food web or a food chain. The producers are the plants. the secondary consumer are the things that eat the producers like insects and cows. The third consumer is the ones that eat the secondary cinsumer like snakes and birds and rats. The tertiary conusmer is the one that eats the third consumer like hawks, sharks, and humans. Now there are the decomposers. These are the organisms that break down the dead organisms. Decomposers are mushrooms, bacteria, or fungi. Some can be vultures. The producer gets the most energy from the sun. The tertiary consumers get the least amount of energy so they eat alot of their food!

eachother to survive || when one organism helps another organism but the other organism does nothing to help or harm the other || when an organism harms the host or the other organism to help itself not the host ||
 * mutualism || commensalism || parasitism ||
 * when both organisms help

**//__THE WATER CYCLE__//** water cycle: how water is traveled through air and land on the Earth and the atmosphere. Evaporation- when water is turned into little particles from heat Condensation- when water particles are turned back to their water state: example- clouds Precipitation- when a form of water comes back to the land in the state of rain, sleet, snow, or hail And the cycle repeats itself Fact: there is the same amount of water on the Earth every, single day!
