Temperature influences the distribution of plants and this is another abiotic factor. In the Lions club tower I could feel the difference in temperature. Bottom at being cold and moist whereas the top is warm and dry. This is shown clearly on the average table. Temperatures such as snow or frost determines the distribution of plants as most plants cannot prevent freezing because of their tissues and this abiotic factor affects the plantae group. Other effects that could cause an establishment to particular plants due to temperature is the gemination of biennial plants, and this is during spring or summer known as vernalization. This is the cooling of seed in order to quickly adapt to the environment and the abiotic factors. As of the forest
Do to the cold climate most plants are tiny ground cover plants, which grow and reproduce with not a lot of haste. They shield themselves from the cold and wind by hugging close to the ground. Some of
Plants are found everywhere on earth, up high on the ridge and down low in caves and caverns. The types of plants that live in these places depends on many factors. These factors are separated into two different categories, the biotic factors and the abiotic factors. Some of the biotic factors include, predation, competition, and habitat destruction. Plants with limited competition and large amounts of resources will be in a higher abundance than plants with limited resources and higher competition rates will be confined to areas and either out competed or will be the dominant species. Certain plants adapt to these factors and thrive and others don’t do as well. Some of the abiotic factors include, sunlight, water, temperature, and wind. These
Plant life tends to be of low growth and, during the short summer, the birds arrive in large numbers to feed on the insects that are born in this period. The climate is cold summers and very cold winters characterize the tundra area in the northern most limit plant growth. Areas
Climate is closely associated with the seasons, but do you know what causes the seasons? Log on to the website
6. It influences how much of the sun’s energy is absorbed and released, thereby affecting temperature. Plants release water vapor and influence regional precipitation patterns.
Starved Rock Park is a beautiful, marvel that lies along the Illinois River just 90 miles West of Chicago. The park was named after a battle that took place in 1760 that involved the Ottawa Indian tribe. When the battle broke out among opposing tribes the Ottawa Indians were forced to take refuge on a giant rock. Several days after the battle, the tribe began to run out of resources and eventually starved to death, giving the rock and the park its name. The rich history of the area began in 8000 BC when the Archaic tribe first settled there. From then on tribes such as the Woodland, Hopewellian, and Mississippi have also inhabited the area. After the 1760 battle, however, Indian activity at Starved Rock Park declined leaving the area
Coit tower has many historical aspect to it. It also has many architectural features. Coit tower is a concrete pillar on the top of telegraph hill. It stands out and can be seen from across the city. If you have looked out at the San Francisco skyline you have probably seen it.
Temperatures can vary widely between regions (such as the mountains and valleys), and between seasons.
Have you ever walked into a bathroom and wondered if the roof was going to fall on you? In silo high school if you ever go into the bathroom you would probably think that because that roof looks bad. It is old and dirty with stains all over it, you would think that it was a thousand years old, and was used roofing when they put it up.

Although there are similarities between Fike Park and Sacred Heart Park, there are also various differences. First, the location of the parks, one being nearer to home, and one farther away, is different. Second, the type of playground equipment has distinct qualities between the parks. Fike Park has a playground that is connected, and built off the ground, unlike that of Sacred Heart Park, which is comprised of various equipment built on the ground. Lastly, there is a gazebo at Fike Park for picnics and other activities, which is not available at Sacred Heart Park. These are some of the ways that the two parks can be contrasted from each other, although they might also be compared in these ways.
1. Calgary Tower - The 191 m freestanding observation tower, originally called Huskey tower, was built to celebrate Canada's Centennial in 1967 and to promote downtown area growth. It was renamed as Calgary tower in 1971. This is the best place for a visitor to Calgary to start a tour of Calgary, as it will give an overall lay of the land. The sky 360 restaurant gives a 360 degree scenic view as it revolves as you dine. Calgary tower is easy to access even in winter, as it is connected to the +15
Tundra plants over the years adapted to sweeping winds and disturbances of the soil. Another adaptation is that they are short and cluster together to help endure the cold. Also they can carry out photosynthesis at low temperatures and low light intensities. Plants aren’t the only things that have had to adapt to the conditions, animals have had to as well.
“The Tower of London in London, England is a castle where kings and queens once lived. It was a fortress that protected them from their enemies and a safe place to keep their riches” (Burns). The complete knowledge of the Tower of London can be best understood by exploring the Tower of London’s history, imprisonment, torture at the tower, and special objects at the tower.
Our lab investigated the morphological characteristics of leaves found in the sun and shade on various species of maple and oak trees around campus. Our null hypothesis was Acer and Quercus acclimate similarly with regards to SLW (specific leaf weight), size, and sinuosity. Our hypothesis was Quercus acclimation is greater than Acer SLW, size, and sinuosity. We tested these hypotheses by picking small sections of a branches from both maple and oak trees. A group was assigned either a maple or an oak tree, and needed a total of three different trees per group. Once three different trees were chosen, groups needed three shade leaves and three sun leaves of off each different tree. In total, each group should then end up with 18 leaves for testing. After collecting the leaves, we ran them through the LiCor 3100 leaf area meter to identify the area of each leaf. Major results found by the classes’ mutual data was each one of our p-values were greater than .05. This means that we failed to reject the null hypothesis. Thus, the lab results do not support our hypothesis that Quercus acclimation is greater than Acer SLW, size, and sinuosity.
