What effect do the climate differences between the ecoregions of Texas have on the erosional process?
a)
More erosion occurs in west Texas where the temperature are hotter/desert-like. There are fewer plants that can live in the desert like temperatures which cause more erosion. With fewer plants, and fewer roots down into the soil, it will erode away. There will be less erosion closer to the coast(east TX) because there is more water, more plants, and more roots down in the soil to help anchor the soil and keep it from eroding away

Why can’t a rainforest support desert organisms, and vice versa? Be specific and give examples with your answer.
a)
A rainforest cannot support the desert organisms and vice versa because of different plant adaptations. For example, the many tropical trees that are in the rainforest would die due to lack of water out in the desert. A cactus would die in a rainforest because it would get too much water. Cacti have adapted to store and hold water, if it gets too much water this could be bad for the plant.
