Tundra


The tundra is a snowy place that have different types of categories. There are 3 types of tundra: arctic tundra, antarctic tundra, and alpine tundra. Arctic tundra is just simple a plain of snow, no vegetation, and a little geography. It only has plain fields of snow and mountains. Animals like polar bears, penguins, and snow foxes live in that part of tundra. Antarctic tundra are places that has vegetation during the summer, but still it is very cold. Alpine tundra is located on the top of a mountain, but it is very harsh, but plants still manage to live there. Climate is always cold, except during the summer. This is the tundra.

Savannas

Savannas are hot, wet, places located in South America or Africa. Animals there, are animals like zebras, giraffes, lions, warthogs, gazelles, rhinos, baboons, and some meerkats. Geography there are grasslands, plains, and hills. Vegetation consist of grass, few trees, and shrubs. There are only a few trees, because of wildfires that happens over the winter. Climate is mostly hot and wet. These are the elements of a savanna.

Marine Ecosystems


Different zones of the marine: Euphotic, Bathyal, Abyssal, and Benthtic. Those are the 4 zones of the marine ecosystem. Some animals in the Benthetic and Euphotic zone are rockfish, eels, starfish, lobsters, etc. Vegetation in the Euphotic and Benthetic is like corals, anemone, and seaweed. In bathyal, vegetation and animals consist of, sharks, whales, and maybe even some turtles. There is also some seaweed there too. But, in the abyssal zone, there are no plants because it is too dark, but there are still animals. Animals that live there are like the anglerfish. Climate can be hot or cold depending on the zone if it's higher or not. This is what I think.

Desert

Deserts are hot, dry, sandy, plains that are near the arid climate zone. Climate is dry and hot, and can be cold at night. Animals that live there are, scorpions, snakes, and some camels. Vegetation consists of cactus, tumbleweed, and other dry plants. Geography has canyons, mesas, ridges, and sandy plains. This is some information about deserts.

Rainforests


Rainforests are very important to our life. There are many types of wildlife in the rainforest. There are jaguars, tucans, bears, and scorpions. But, we have to be careful not to take down rainforests. Scientists study that every 15 minutes, a species is extinct. And there will be no more coffee or chocolate if rainforests are taken down. Things like, cropping, mining, grazing animals, and construction can take rainforests down. This is why rainforests are important.

Biomes?

Hey. Biomes are kinda like ecosystems. They are place with a type of climate, animals, vegetation, and geography. For example, desert biomes are dry. The animals consist of scorpions and snakes. Vegetation there is made of cactus and tumbleweeed. The climate is dry and has barely 10cm of rain a year. These what biomes are. Well, I'll try to make funnier posts soon enough. See ya.

Geography is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! :D

That's cool.

Well, I think geography is cool about nature. It can look amazing, it can look weird, it can look funny. Sometimes, when I go to places like the Philippines, I like to go sightseeing. There's this one place in Thailand, and there was this HUGE bridge. It was so cool, it was like 80 miles long. Then there's Arizona's Grand Canyon. It was too hot, bu it was so DEEP. i was scared just looking down. Anyways, it was amazing, so that's what was cool about it. See you on my next post.
