An ecosystem has an average of 50 cm of rain per year. Look at the rainfall graph over an 11 year period
of lower than average rainfall in this ecosystem, predict how the biotic factors within this ecosystem would
respond. Make sure to describe how eventually all trophic levels would be affected. Be sure to explain

Trends Along Latitude Lines
Use the globe icon to change the view to a flat map, and use the gear icon to turn “on” the gridlines. Scan across the globe along each of the latitude lines listed below, and record the biome types present.
Latitude

- Look at the following temperature and precipitation graph for a city around the world. Using this information, write down which biome each city has in it. Be careful to read the numbers along The numbers along the Y-axis carefully. For precipitation, you will need to look at figure 2.2, which has annual precipitation numbers in centimeters. Then compare them to the monthly precipitation numbers in the graph, which are in millimeters. It may be helpful to add up The graph numbers and convert that number to centimeters in order to determine the Biome. Average temperatures are also represented on figure 2.2. Answer choices A.
