Trends Along Latitude Lines
Use the globe icon to change the view to a flat map, and use the gear icon to turn “on” the gridlines. Scan across the globe along each of the latitude lines listed below, and record the biome types present.
Latitude
Biomes noted at this latitude
60°N
45°N
30°N
15°N
0°
In 3-4 sentences, please summarize what you discovered regarding patterns of biome distribution in relation to latitude. Try to include points gathered from lecture material (or earlier in this lab exercise) to deepen your understanding.
Submit your project researching an ecosystem you would find in your state. You may submit a poster, presentation, link to your created website, or other document. Be sure to include the following: • Describe at least ten biotic factors found in the ecosystem and at least ten abiotic factors. • Give at least two examples of food chains that could be found in the ecosystem.
What might account for any patchiness on specific biome when looking at google earth. Let's use Colorado as our location. If we were to look at colorado biomes and we see patchy areas what might account for that.
