James Biome Polar

Climate soil and location

Climate -every months the polar area is about less than 10 degree Celsius

Soil :Ice and Snow

Location Antarctica

Animal in polar

Emperor penguin adaptations
-larger body to keep heat
-Short stiff tail to help balance on land
-Powerful claws on the feet
Behavioral adaptations
-They huddle together in the winter to conserve heat
-They bread during the winter so the baby will be independent in the summer
-The parents sit on the eggs to keep them warm

Weddell Seal

Adaptations
-The hind limbs have developed into flipper to swimming better
-Smooth shape to pass esaily through water
-Larger eyes to find foods
-Whiskers to help them feel in the dark

Behavioral Adaptations
-They have breath hole on the ice
-Can swim long distance

Polar Bear
Adaptations
-Long, stiff hair to keep them warm, and also help them swim in cold water
-Small and rounded ears so the cold water doesn't go in
-They become good at swimming
-They have thick layer of fat also to keep them warm

Artic Fox
Adaptation
-White fur to make the predator hard to see them
-Thick coat of fur to keep it warm
-Hair on the pads to help them walk on the snow

Walruses
Adaptations
-Good swimmer
-Body fat to keep them warm
-Bottoms of the flippers are bumpy to grip on ice

Polar plants
-Small
-Grow in a group or close together
-Grow low on the ground
-Some are black colour to absorb more light
-Some grow facing the sunlight

Threat
Climate changing :the ce are melting because its getting warmer



Pleng's presentation The Ocean

Facts: Marine Habitats
-More than 70% of the earth surface is covered by oceans
-The marine ecosystems can support many different living things in the ocean (such as habitats)
-It is also a major influence

Location
Ocean is divided in to 50 major oceans
-Atlantic Ocean
-Pacific Ocean
-Indian Ocean
-Southern Ocean
-Arctic Ocean
Ocean can also be divided into three vertical zones
-Euphotic zone =light can penetrate
-Disphotic zone = too deep for light to reach
-Aphotic zone = deepest part of the ocean (dark)

Weather
Marine biome influence the Earth by providing us
-rain = grow crops through evaporation
-Wind = help circulate the air
-Affects coastal/beachfront temperatures
Average temperature 4 C/ 39 F

Animal adaptation
-Jellyfish
=An umbrella shaped creatures
=Invertebrate
=They defend themselves by using their tentacles to protect
-Dolphin
=They migrate due to seasonal changes
=They prefer tropical climates but they do swim in cold water
=From a group called "pods"
-Blue Whale
=Fat tissue to make them warm
=Streamline shaped for swimming
=They eat krill (very small shrimp-like)
=Ventral grooves may expand
-Green Turtle
=Swim long distance
=They are herbivores (eat only plants)
{Depend on each species ,whether they are herbivores ,carnivores ,omnivores -based on their jaw structures
=Can be found in tropical and subtropical
-Grey Reef Shark
=Known as the Bronze Whaler Shark and Short Nose Blactail
=Found in warm and shallow waters near the coral reef

Plants Adaptations
-Algae is very important to the ocean
=it provides shelter and food for sea creatures
=We human also used in products like toothpaste and ice cream
-Marine plants algae provide supply and produce Oxygen

-Algae
=Known as seaweeds
=Many shapes and sizes
=Have cell wal structure and they can do photosynthetic like plants on land
-Green Algae (Chlorophyta)
=More than 4000 species
=Found
