African plate and South American plate move away from each other.

<u>Explanation:</u>

South American plate is the smallest major plate and includes the continent of South America and a major part of Atlantic Ocean.

The western side of South America is part of convergent plate tectonic boundary and thus experiences earthquakes. The eastern edge is in the Atlantic Ocean at a divergent plate boundary.  

The South American plate and African plate move away from each other. This divergent plate motion creates young oceanic crust.

<span>How are the trees different in these three biomes?

•Tropical forest consists of more…Tropical plants of course! These being: Palms, Orchids, ferns, vines, mosses, and more.
•Temperate forest tend to stick with more “dry” plants per say. Some examples: Oak, hickory, maple, elm, willow, ect.
•Ending with Boreal Forest, (otherwise known as taiga) inhabit plants of which can survive harsher, colder climates. This includes: Pine, fir, and spruce. “Needle like pines” if you will.


Describe the three soil types. Before you learned about the biomes, which of the three would you have thought would have had the richest soil? Why?

•Tropical Forest: Soil is nutrient-poor and acidic. Decomposition is rapid and soils are subject to heavy leaching.
•Temperate Forest: Soil is fertile, enriched with decaying litter.
•Boreal Forest: Soil is thin, nutrient-poor, and acidic.
Out of the three biomes, *Insert thoughts here*


For each of the three biomes, describe what you see as the biggest challenge to plants and animals. What environmental factor most drives their adaptations? (Example: For the desert, the factor would be the lack of water and heat.)

•Tropical Rain forest: The lack of nutrients in the soil.
•Temperate Forest: Acid rain. <It kills trees & plants.
•Boreal Forest: Poor soil. </span>
