What is the difference of lake and pond, besides the size?
Ponds are seasonal, lasting just a couple of months, and lakes are long-lasting. Ponds are man-made unlike lakes that are created by nature.
Marine
Why are intertidal zone, where the tides reach highest, has a more diverse array of algae and small animals?
Desert
Why are there not a lot of big animals in the desert?
Because there's not a lot animals that have the capability to hold a lot of water since water is scarce in the Desert.
Forest
What's the difference between tropical and other kinds of forest?
Tropical forests has the greatest diversity of species and is located near the equator making in very hot compare to to other rainforests. Has poor quality soil but the decomposition rate is fast.
Grassland
What is a trait of the Savanna that we see here in California?
Two important components of Savanna are temperature, it needs a constant 6 to 8 months of rain and the rest hot temp. Another component is fire, it "plays a vital role in the Savanna's biodiversity." When I did my Chaparral report I found out that fire also plays a vital part of that community. Some chaparral shrubs need fire to sprout and some of the most beautiful flowers only bloom after a wildfire.
