What trees and animals are typically found in the temperate forest biome?

Geography

Yuri [45]2 years ago

Temperate deciduous forests have a great variety of plant species. Most have three levels of plants. Lichen, moss, ferns, wildflowers and other small plants can be found on the forest floor. Shrubs fill in the middle level and hardwood trees like maple, oak, birch, magnolia, sweet gum and beech make up the third level. Conifers like spruce, fir and pine trees can also be found mixed in with the hardwood trees in this biome. Sometimes the taiga and the temperate deciduous forest overlap.

Animal Life
CardinalThere is great diversity of life in this biome. Insects, spiders, slugs, frogs, turtles and salamanders are common. In North America, birds like broad-winged hawks, cardinals, snowy owls, and pileated woodpeckers are found in this biome. Mammals in North American temperate deciduous forests include white-tailed deer, raccoons, opossums, porcupines and red foxes.

Animals that live in the temperate deciduous forest must be able to adapt to the changing seasons. Some animals in this biome migrate or hibernate in the winter.

Explain how convection currents in the mantle cause plates to Diverge.<br>Answer Urugently / ASAP ☺
Tpy6a [65]

The Earth's crust is broken up into pieces called plates. Heat rising and falling inside the mantle creates convection currents generated by radioactive decay in the core. The convection currents move the plates. Where convection currents diverge near the Earth's crust, plates move apart. Where convection currents converge, plates move towards each other. The movement of the plates, and the activity inside the Earth, is called plate tectonics.

Plate tectonics cause earthquakes and volcanoes. The point where two plates meet is called a plate boundary. Earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur either on or near plate boundaries.

The map shows the world's tectonic plates and the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes.

What is happening at the subduction zone of the juan de fuca and north american plates?
vova2212 [387]

At the subduction zone of the Juan de Fuca and the North American tectonic plates, the Juan de Fuca plate is subductiong below the North American one, going downwards toward the mantle and being melted in it.

Once a very large tectonic plate, the Juan de Fuca plate is now only a small fraction of its peak size. It is actually not even in one piece, but it is broken down into three smaller plates, though very often all of them go under the same name. This plate is of oceanic type, making it lower and denser than the continental plates such as the North American. Because it is lower and denser, the Juan de Fuca plate is subducting below the North American plate, slowly disappearing from the face of the Earth, getting down into the mantle where it is melted and recycled.

This subduction zone is causing a lot of geological activity in the area, with the earthquakes and the volcanic activities being a regular occurrence. Also, this subduction zone is responsible for the formation of the mountain chains in the western apart of North America, such as the Rocky Mountains and the Cascade Mountains.
