There are six large areas of temperate grassland: the Pampas in South America, the Veld in Africa, the Canterbury Plains in New Zealand, the Murray-Darling Basin in Australia, the Prairies in North America and the Steppes in Central Asia. 2. Colour the distribution of temperate grassland on the map. 3. How is temperate grassland called in these regions? Eurasia - steppe Hungary - puzda North America - prarie South America - pampa South Africa - veldt 4. What is forest steppe (forest steppe – metsastepp)?
Temperate deciduous forests, woodlands and shrub Tartu 2008 Location: Temperate forests are typical of all European continent, the Eastern region of Asia (in special, Chinese and Japan) and North America. Also are finded in tempered areas of South America. Climate: The average temperature in temperate forests is 50° F. Summers are mild, and average about 70° F, while winter temperatures are often well blow freezing. The average yearly precipitation is 30-60 inches. This precipitation falls throughout the year, but in the winter it falls as snow. There are four seasons in this biome, with warm summers and cold winters, often snowy. In autumn, the leaves change color and fall from the trees. The leaves decay on the forest floor, so the soil is very rich.
TRANSHUMANT GRAZING SYSTEMS IN TEMPERATE ASIA Merlin-Hans Hiiekivi Authors:J.M.Suttie S.G Reynolds Intro • Temperate Asia has vast areas of grazing lands • Both transhumant and agropastoral systems are common Cold semi-arid Asia • Over most of area thee is little interaction between herding and croping • A major herding skill is getting stock fat summer and autumn to survive the winter • In 20th the livestock industry was collectivized for a period • Most of the countries of th region report serious degradation of their grazing lands. By the least affected is Mongolia

Temperate deciduous forest -Well-defined seasons with a distinct winter characterize this forest biome. Moderate climate and a growing season of 140-200 days during 4-6 frost-free months distinguish temperate forests. Temperature varies from -15° C to 25° C. Precipitation (750-1500 mm) is distributed evenly throughout the year. Temperate grassland- Semiarid, continental climates of the middle latitudes typically have between 25 cm and 50 cm of precipitation a year. Much of this falls as snow, serving as reservoir of moisture for the beginning of the growing season. Warm to hot summers are experienced, depending on latitude. In the winter, grassland temperatures can be as low as
frith) is an area with a high density of trees. Forests cover approximately 30% of land and 9.4% of all the planet earth. They are also responsible for regulating our planet's climate and act as large purifiers of airs, by absorbing carbon dioxide, and giving out oxygen. Different types of forests Forests are divided into following main types: o Tropical forest o Subtropical forest o Plantations o Boreal forest o Temperate forest o Seasonal or monsoon forest Tropical and Subtropical Forests Tropical and subtropical forests, also known as rainforests or tropical rainforests, are lavish and ample forests with broad leave tree. They are mostly found at lowlands near the equator - Asia, Africa, South & Central America and on many of the Pacific Islands. Almost 50% forests of the world are tropical and subtropical in nature.

tree in another way. Releasing the rain at drop size reduces the risk of the thin soil below being washed away so easily. An unstable soil structure could spell disaster for the larger trees. Epiphytes An epiphyte is a plant that grows upon another plant (such as a tree) non-parasitically or sometimes upon some other object (such as a building or a telegraph wire), derives its moisture and nutrients from the air and rain and sometimes from debris accumulating around it, and is found in the temperate zone (as many mosses, liverworts, lichens and algae) and in the tropics (as many ferns, cacti, orchids, and bromeliads). Lianas A liana is any of various long-stemmed, woody vines that are rooted in the soil at ground level and use trees, as well as other means of vertical support, to climb up to the canopy to get access to well-lit areas of the forest. Lianas are especially characteristic of tropical moist deciduous forests and rainforests. Fig trees

day. Mating and breeding Humpback whales reach sexual maturity at 6- 10 years of age or when males reach the length of 11.6 m and females reach 12 m. Each female typically bears a calf every 2-3 years and the gestation period is 12 months. The calf is between 3-4.5 m long at birth, and weighs up to 907 kg. Distribution and migration Is found in all the world's oceans. Most populations of humpback whales follow a regular migration route. They are summering in temperate and polar waters for feeding. They are wintering in tropical waters for mating and calving. Status Because their feeding, mating, and calving grounds are close to shore and because they are slow swimmers, the humpback whales were an easy target for early whalers. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) gave them worldwide protection status in 1966, but there were large illegal kills by the Soviets until the 1970's. It is believed they number about 30,000-

On the east and west coast average high temperatures are generally in the low 20°C, while between the coasts the average summer high temperature range between 25°C to 30°C with occasional extreme heat in some interior locations exceeding 40°C. Canada's land ranges from fertile agricultural plains in the south to freezing tundras in the north. The southwest of Canada has a mild climate. Cold winters characterize most of the
many forms of music, such as country and roots music in the USA, which in turn have had some influence on modern rock music Irish literature For a comparatively small island, Ireland has made a disproportionately large contribution to world literature. Irish literature encompasses the Irish and English languages. Food and drink Food and cuisine in Ireland takes its influence from the crops grown and animals farmed in the island's temperate climate and from the social and political circumstances of Irish history Sport Gaelic football is the most popular sport in Ireland in terms of match attendance and community involvement, with about 2,600 clubs on the island. In 2003 it represented 34% of total sports attendances at events in Ireland and abroad, followed by hurling at 23%, soccer at 16% and rugby at 8% and the All- Ireland Football final is the most watched event in the sporting calendar
reptile species. About 91,000 insect species have been described. In America, there are very many parks, which 58 are national parks and there are hundreds of federally managed parks, forests and wilderness areas. The first national park in the world was Yellowstone national park in Wyoming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iaSlZE-Wxs&feature=related Many species became extinct soon after the first settlements. The U.S. climate is temperate in most areas, tropical in Hawaii and southern Florida, polar in Alaska, semiarid in the Great Plains, Mediterranean in coastal California and arid in the Great Basin. The droughts and floods are infrequent in America. In north Alaska was recorded the lowest temperature in U.S. -62.2 °C . The highest temperature was recorded in California in Death Valley when the temperature reached 57 °C. The flora is so diverse in America because of the different climates and

Without decent ( ) protection, many of the poor are exposed ( ) to severe ( ) and dangerous weather as well as to bacteria and viruses carried by other people and animals. They also are more likely to become infected with diseases carried by insects or rodents (). In arid()regions, drought leaves the poor without clean water for drinking or bathing. In temperate climates, including in the major cities of developed countries many of the homeless poor are harmed by or die of exposure ()to extreme winter cold. Inadequate shelter almost always accompanies inadequate sanitation and unhygienic practices. Because the poor in developing nations commonly have no running water or sewage() facilities, human excrement and garbage accumulate, quickly becoming a breeding ground for disease.

It is one of the sunniest spots in the country. It also has a high rainfall, which ensures the lushness of its rainforests. Summer is from December to February, Autumn or Fall is from March to May, Winter is from June to August, and Spring is from September to November. 10.Why is it easy to travel in A?
Like the US and Canada, Australia was an English speaking colony of Great Britain. Today Australia is a modern developed country with a diversified economy. Australia is an island continent of 7.7 million square kilometres, which makes it a little smaller than the USA. Located in south of Asia, between The Pacific and Indian Oceans, Australia is the World's driest continent. Although large areas of the centre are desert, Australia has a wide range of climate from tropical in the north to temperate in the south east, where it frequently snows in winter. Geographical position The coasts of Australia are surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean. Four seas are surrounding Australia, which are the Timor Sea and Arafura Sea in the north of Australia, the Coral Sea in the north-east of Australia and the Tasman Sea, near the island of Tasmania, in the south-east of Australia. Government The full name of the county is the Commonwealth of Australia
temperatures (0 °C) at inland weather stations, but only 10 days at coastal stations. Ireland is sometimes affected by heat waves, most recently 1995, 2003, 2006. Nature Ireland has fewer animal and plant species than either Britain or mainland Europe because it became an island shortly after the end of the last Ice Age, about 8,000 years ago. Many different habitat types are found in Ireland, including farmland, open woodland, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, conifer plantations, peat bogs, and various coastal habitats. Forest covers about 10% of the country. Only 26 land mammal species are native to Ireland, because it was isolated from Europe by rising sea levels after the Ice Age. Some species, such as the red fox, hedgehog, and badger are very common, whereas others, like the Irish hare, red deer and pine marten are less so. Aquatic wildlife such as
oilseed rape, wheat ● Feeding flocks in the winter may cause significant crop damage ● Less vocal than the noisy whooper and Bewic´s swan ● Can be aggressive in defence of their nests Breeding ● Lay an average of four eggs ● Female broods for 36 days ● The cygnets do not reach the ability of flight before an age of 120 to 150 days Distribution and habitat ● Found naturally mainly in temperate areas of Europe across western Asia ● Partically migratory throughout northern latitudes in Europe and Asia, as far south as north Africa and the Mediterrranean ● Also founded in Iceland Distribution of tundra swan ● Difficult to differentiate ● Breeds in the Arctic, subarctic tundra ● Inhabit – shallow pools, lakes and rivers ● Migratory birds ● The breeding range extends across the coastal lowlands of Siberia to the Pacific
On the South Island there are 18 mountains that are higher than 3000m. The highest mountain is Cook mountain - it's 3754m high. North Island isn't as mountainous as South Island but it's volcanic. The highest mountain there is Ruapehu mountain - it's 2797m high and currently active. The landscape of New Zealand is very popular with making movies and TV- shows - for example the trilogy of "Lord of the Rings" and "The Last Samurai" are filmed there. The climate is temperate all over the country. The temperature rarely goes under 0°C or over 30° in populated areas. The weather on the west coast is moist and cool. In the Mackenzie hollow it turns drier and on the North-Auckland peninsula the climatic zone is almost tropical. The highest temperature in New Zealand taken is 42.2 °C and the lowest -21.6 °C. The driest city in New Zealand is on the South Island and it's named Christchurch
Most of the lakes lie in the volcanic plateu of the North Island and in glacial valleys near the Southern Alps of the South Isaland. On both islands the rivers rise in the mountains and flow down to the sea. The rapid flow of New Zealand's rivers makes them important sources of hydroelectric power. New Zealand has hundreds of waterfalls. Sutherland falls on the South Island is the fifth highest waterfall in he world. New Zealand enjoys a temperate and moist climate, without extremes of heat or cold. Seasons are the reverse of the Northern Hemisphere History A brown-skinned people called Maori were the first people to live in New Zealand. Europeans first visited the country in 1642, but they didn't start to settle on the island until the late 1700''. Today, New Zealanders are descendants of early European settlers who arrived in 1800's. The settlers came mainly from Britain. The country was once part of the British Empire
