The Effect Of Temperatures Temperature On Temperature

The tundra, which comes from the Finnish word, tunturi, which means treeless, is the coldest terrestrial biome known to biologists (University of California Museum of Paleontology). Located in the northern hemisphere, between 55° and 70° North, the Tundra covers about 20% of Earth’s surface (S). Although tundras can be found in many of the continents, most notably, the Northern Alaska, Canada and Greenland Tundra and the Scandinavian Montane Birch forest and grasslands stand out the most (Gardella). They are all large tourists attractions disply nature’s ability to thrive in the harshest environments. Winters in the tundra have an average temperature of -30° F, due to its high altitude. However, the average temperatures in the tundra during

Global climate change and variability, particularly at regional levels, are not completely understood. Therefore, there are many significant

The study is carried out in Bicentennial Park to investigate and analyse the local area and expand on the understanding of geological and climatic concepts that can be identified through careful analysis of the area.

Hypothesis: If the temperature (I.V.) of materials in the reaction are increased, the reaction time (D.V.) will decrease.

B) Seasonal fluctuation of temperature is not a limiting factor in biome distribution if areas have the same annual temperature and precipitation means.

The climate in this region consists of sweltering summers with temperatures near 100 degrees Fahrenheit and chilly winters with temperatures ranging to the low 40s. Abrupt and rapid weather swings are also common, temperatures can drop 50 degrees in a day. The Edwards Plateau does not have a wet or dry season, 1-2 months without rain can occur at any moment. It has a consistent humidity with it being usually at 70%, but lowers in the winter and

2. The higher the elevation, the colder the air and therefore, the colder the climate.

Temperatures can vary widely between regions (such as the mountains and valleys), and between seasons.

Much of Lassen’s activities are available all year round due to similar weather patterns and common snow. Lassen’s climate is similar, having cold temperatures and high precipitation. At the park, you can find climate zones at Loomis Ranger Station, Butte Lake Ranger Station, Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center, Warner Valley Ranger Station, or Juniper Lake Ranger Station. Temperatures can be found online as well. Beginning with summer, the climate range is from thirty-four to eight-six degrees farenheit. There is an average precipitation of zero point six. Summer is referred to as a time of renewal at the park. Emerald meadows have new wildflowers blooming, lakes thaw, and forests come to life as the winter covering melts away. Summer, like in most places, is the warmest time of the year.

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
