  • 2. 

    Select 2 names that would describe biomes found in the oceans and seas.

    • Tropical Rainforest

    • Marine

    • Saltwater

    • Grassland

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Marine
    A. Saltwater
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Marine and Saltwater because these two names accurately describe biomes found in the oceans and seas. The term "Marine" refers to the biome that encompasses all saltwater environments, including oceans, seas, and estuaries. "Saltwater" specifically refers to the biome that consists of bodies of water with a high concentration of salt, such as oceans and seas. Both names highlight the importance of saltwater environments in the context of biomes found in the oceans and seas.

    Name the biome that has very low temperatures and permafrost

    • Desert

    • Rain Forest

    • Boreal Forest

    • Tundra

    Correct Answer
    A. Tundra
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Tundra. The tundra biome is characterized by extremely low temperatures and permafrost, which is a layer of permanently frozen soil. It is found in the Arctic regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. The cold temperatures and frozen soil make it difficult for trees to grow, resulting in a landscape dominated by grasses, mosses, and lichens. The tundra biome is also home to unique wildlife adapted to the harsh conditions, such as musk oxen, reindeer, and polar bears.

  • 4. 

    Which biome has the largest diversity of plants and animals? It also has high moisture and rich soil.

    • Saltwater biome

    • Rainforest

    • Grassland

    • Deciduous forest

    Correct Answer
    A. Rainforest
    Explanation
    The rainforest has the largest diversity of plants and animals due to its high moisture and rich soil. The combination of these factors creates a perfect environment for a wide variety of species to thrive. The constant rainfall and warm temperatures support the growth of a vast array of plant species, which in turn provides habitat and food for a diverse range of animal species. The rainforest's complex and interconnected ecosystem allows for the coexistence of countless plant and animal species, making it the biome with the highest biodiversity.

  • 5. 

    If you visited a biome and saw herds of animals, which biome would you likely be visiting?

    • Tropical rainforest

    • Taiga

    • Grassland / Savanna

    • Deciduous forest

    Correct Answer
    A. Grassland / Savanna
    Explanation
    If you visited a biome and saw herds of animals, it is likely that you would be visiting a grassland or savanna biome. Grasslands and savannas are characterized by vast open spaces covered in grasses and scattered trees, providing ample grazing opportunities for herbivores. These biomes support large populations of animals, including herds of grazing animals such as zebras, wildebeests, and antelopes. The presence of herds of animals suggests a grassland or savanna biome rather than a tropical rainforest, taiga, or deciduous forest, which have different vegetation and animal communities.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Select 2 names for the biome  that has grass as its primary vegetation and there are very few trees.

    • Desert

    • Grassland

    • Deciduous Forest

    • Savanna

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Grassland
    A. Savanna
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Grassland and Savanna. Both of these biomes have grass as their primary vegetation and very few trees. Grasslands are characterized by vast stretches of grasses with few trees, while savannas are grasslands with scattered trees or shrubs. In both biomes, the dominant vegetation is grass, making them suitable for grazing animals.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which biome has trees that go dormant and lose their leaves in the winter?

    • Boreal Forest

    • Coniferous Forest

    • Rain Forest

    • Deciduous Forest

    Correct Answer
    A. Deciduous Forest
    Explanation
    Deciduous forests have trees that go dormant and lose their leaves in the winter. This is an adaptation to the changing seasons and colder temperatures. The trees shed their leaves to conserve energy and protect themselves from freezing temperatures. In the spring, they regrow their leaves and become active again. This cycle of leaf loss and regrowth is a characteristic feature of deciduous forests.

    As you move further from the equator, the temperatures of the biomes increase. - ProProfs

    As you move further from the equator, the temperatures of the biomes increase.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation

  • 9. 

    Which biome has mainly coniferous (evergreen) trees?

    • Deciduous Forest

    • Boreal Forest AKA Taiga

    • Rain Forest

    • Tundra

    Correct Answer
    A. Boreal Forest AKA Taiga
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Boreal Forest AKA Taiga. The Boreal Forest, also known as the Taiga, is a biome characterized by mainly coniferous (evergreen) trees. These trees are well adapted to the cold temperatures and short growing seasons of the region. The Boreal Forest is found in the northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia, and is the largest terrestrial biome on Earth. It is known for its dense forests of spruce, fir, pine, and larch trees, which provide habitat for a variety of wildlife species.
