Assume that climate change (whether it is natural or anthropogenic ) is inevitable. Describe in detail an least three specific negative results of a warming climate and two positive ones. Include at least two different biomes in your discussion .
The table describes the characteristics of a given location.
Characteristic
Description
Average temperature
High
Average precipitation
Low
Vegetation
Sparse and minimal
Location
Near the equator
Which biome do these characteristics describe?
A.
desert
B.
savanna
C.
tropical rain forest
D.
tundra
If global warming increases average temperatures on Earth by 4°C in this century, predict which biome is most likely to replace tundra in some locations as a result. Explain your answer.
