1
Which information is not found in climate diagrams?
Seasonalchanges in temperature
Themonths when plant growth is limited by precipitation
Average annual humidity
Averageannual temperature
2
Why do scientists use dominant plant growth forms to categorize terrestrial biomes?
Plants with similar growth are closely related
Different plants indicate climate difference, animals don't
Plants from similar climates evolve differently
Similar plant growth forms in similar temp & prcip

greatest precip occurs at the ICZ
air of polar cell rises near 60°latitude.
4
Which of the following statements about tropical biomes is correct?
Tropical rainforests highest precipitation close to ITCZ
Savannasare characterized by the densest forests
Tropicalseasonal forests characterized by evergreen trees
Subtropicaldeserts have the highest species diversity
5

8
The floor of the rain forest has little plant life because _______.
The rainforest gets too much sunlight
The vines and ferns choke off the other plants
Very little sunlight gets through the canopy

10
Which of the following statements about tundras and boreal forests is correct?
Borealforests have shorter growing seasons than tundras
Tundrasare warmer than boreal forests.
Plantgrowth in both biomes is limited by precipitation
Boreal forests,larger dominant plant growth formsthan tundra

aphotic zone, photic zone, intertidal zone,benthic zone
benthic zone, aphotic zone,photic zone, intertidal zone
intertidal zone, aphoticzone, photic zone, benthic zone
15
How many years must pass to determine if climate change has indeed happened?

Temperaterainforests receive the most precipitation
Temperaterainforests can be found in the northwestern US.
Temperate seasonal forests lose their leaves
Temperate biomes have average annual temperatures above20°C
19
