Biomes and Climate Change Concepts

Mr. Green's video tutorial on biomes covers the structure, function, and importance of biomes, emphasizing the impact of climate on biome types. The tutorial is divided into two parts, focusing on biomes, zonation, and succession. It discusses the five major types of biomes, climate systems, and the effects of climate change on ecosystems. The video also highlights the importance of biodiversity and productivity within biomes and the concept of ecotones as transitional zones between biomes.

What is the primary focus of part one in the video?

• Zonation

• Biomes

• Succession

• Climate Change

Which factor primarily determines the type of biome in a given area?

• Animal species

• Soil type

• Human activity

• Climate

How many major types of biomes are discussed in the video?

• Five

• Three

• Four

• Six

What are the five major components of a climate system?

• Atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, land surface, and biosphere

• Atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, and cryosphere

• Atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and stratosphere

• Atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and troposphere

Which climate classification is characterized by high rainfall and warm temperatures?

• Semi-arid

• Tropical wet

• Polar

• Arid

What does biodiversity refer to in the context of biomes?

• The soil composition of a biome

• The number of different species of organisms

• The amount of rainfall in a biome

• The temperature range of a biome

Which biomes are known for having high net primary productivity?

• Tropical rainforests and coral reefs

• Deserts and tundras

• Grasslands and savannahs

• Temperate forests and boreal forests

What is an ecotone?

• A type of ecosystem

• A type of biome

• A climate classification

What is the estimated temperature increase by 2100 due to climate change?

• 0.5 to 1.5 degrees Celsius

• 1.5 to 4.5 degrees Celsius

• 2.5 to 5.5 degrees Celsius

• 3.5 to 6.5 degrees Celsius

Which regions are predicted to have high species turnover due to climate change?

• Australian outback and Siberian tundra

• Antarctica and Arctic

• Himalayas and Mediterranean

• Amazon rainforest and Sahara desert
