1) tropical rainforest: found in equatorial regions, most diverse biome, avg. temperature from 68-93 degrees Fahrenheit, annual rainfall of 50-200 in
2) savanna: grassland with scattered trees, hot tropical areas, extensive dry season with avg. temperature from 75-84 degrees Fahrenheit, annual rainfall of 20-50 in
3) subtropical deserts: dry, low species diversity, temperatures from 32-140 degrees farenheit, annual rainfall of .8 in

5) temperate grasslands: also known as prairies, hot summers and cold winters, annual rainfall of 10-35 in
6) temperate forest: most common biome, avg. temperature from -22 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit, annual rainfall of 29.5 to 59 in, deciduous trees dominant plant
7) boreal forest: also called taiga or coniferous forest, cold dry winters and short cool wet summers, annual rainfall of 15.7-39 in, contains cone-bearing plants, low net primary productivity
8) tundra: avg. temperature from -29.2 to -52 degree Fahrenheit, annual rainfall of 6-10 in, permafrost present
Compare and contrast up-lifted and fault-block mountains. Describe the mountains that form as a result of hot-spots in Earth's mantle. Features found at divergent boundaries include ocean ridges . ... Volcanoes that form over hot spots are often solitary and far from tectonic plate boundaries.
<span>Nudation is the process wherein an ecological system experiences new growth after a major event. Given that a drought killed all of the plants in the farmland and the wind and birds moved new plants into the now barren area, this is an ecological succession.</span>
The process which is most likely to be used by the forensic scientists to match the evidence and suspect blood samples is STR analysis.
STR (Short tandem repeats) analysis is used to analyze individual areas of the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). The STR analysis is performed to compare the two DNA samples. STR analysis is the most recent technique used in the DNA analysis in the field of forensics. The nuclear DNA is extracted from the blood samples and then the selected regions are amplified using the PCR (polymerase chain reaction). The STR sequences are then identified using the gel electrophoresis. These are then compared to find out if the two samples belong to the same person or not
