Deserts are areas that get less than about ten inches of rain per year. Although most of the deserts we know of are hot (like the Sahara), some are actually cold (like parts of Antarctica), so the real distinguishing characteristic of deserts is their extreme dryness. Temperatures in deserts change a lot from day to night and from summer to winter. The organisms that live in a desert need to be able to survive these drastic temperature swings along with dry conditions, so the density and diversity of species are very low. In other words, the desert has a low carrying capacity. Cacti are among the few plants that can survive the hot deserts, because they can store water after a rainstorm in order to have a nice supply during the frequent droughts. Animals in the desert include reptiles like lizards and snakes, along with some arachnids like Spiders and scorpions. Biomes are the major biological divisions of the earth. Biomes, such as oceans, deserts, and savannas, are characterized by the area's climate, plus the particular organisms that live there. The living organisms make up the biotic components of the biome while everything else makes up the abiotic components. The most important abiotic aspects of a biome are its amount of rainfall and its amount of temperature variation. More rain and more stable temperatures means more organisms can survive. It turns out that these two abiotic components are usually linked because the wetter a biome is, the less its temperature changes from day to night or from summer to winter. That's why so many people want to move to Southern California and Florida - the weather is never too hot and never too cold. The number of organisms that can survive in a biome is called that biome's "carrying capacity"
Sponges primarily live in marine biome, especially in coral reefs and rocky shore environments. They can also be found in freshwater environments, such as rivers and lakes.
Most humans live in the biome known as temperate deciduous forest. This biome experiences four distinct seasons with moderate temperatures and abundant rainfall, supporting a diverse range of plant and animal species.
Yes, humans can live in the taiga biome. However, it presents challenges such as cold temperatures, limited food sources, and isolation. Some indigenous communities have adapted to living in the taiga for generations.
No, the sun is not a biome. A biome is a large geographical area of distinctive plant and animal groups adapted to that particular environment. The sun is a star that emits heat and light, which supports life on Earth but is not a habitat for organisms to live in.
Humans primarily live in terrestrial biomes such as forests, grasslands, deserts, and urban areas. Each biome has its own unique characteristics and environmental conditions that influence the distribution and abundance of human population.
