The animals that live in the Alpine biome have to have special adaptations to survive in it as this is a biome with very harsh conditions for big portion of the year. The temperatures are very low, the winds are strong, winter lasts for half a year or more, and there's lot of snow. All this has made the animals to develop certain traits to help them survive. Some of those adaptations are:
- thicker and longer fur for better isolation form the outside conditions
- wider paws with denser and tougher skin, helping them to move easier in the snow and avoid frostbite
- larger lungs and nostrils for easier breathing in the high altitudes
- stockier bodies so that heat can be preserved easier
- the ears and tails are small and rounded in order to avoid frost bite
- big portion of them are able to hibernate for several months
Answer:
The correct answer is - A and C,
Explanation:
According to the graph, the following conditions are matched correctly with the temperature seasonal forest with other biomes:
The temperature seasonal forest has the precipitation range from 50 cm to 250 cm rainfall per year approximately. The average rainfall from this would be 150 cm/year or between 100 to 200 cm per year.
B. the temperature seasonal forest has a temperature between 15 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees celsius which is warmer than the boreal forest that has a temperature between 0 to 15 degrees Celsius approximately.

Answer:
Since the origin of humans on this planet, they have been trying their best to make their lives easier on this planet. In doing so, human activities have some how heavily damaged the Earth. Many day to day activities of humans are dangerous for the Earth.
Some of the consequences of human activities on the Earth's fresh water are :
Extinction of many aquatic species:
The water consumed by humans comes from the fresh water oceans. As the population of humans is increasing enormously, the water from the oceans is being consumed at dangerous levels. This has caused many species of aquatic animals to become extinct or to be at a verge of extinction as they do not have a habitat to survive or reproduce.
Pollution:
Many heavy industries, house sewage, farmers dispose waste into the fresh water. Hence, killing aquatic animals and polluting the fresh water ecosystems.
