Your choice talk about something you learned or ask a question about something that is confusing you

I learned about fossils and how to measure their heads. And what type of fossils they are and what type of head they have. It was very confusing but now I get it.

Compare and contrast two biomes describe them in detail include pictures of plants and animals you are liklely to see

Tropical Rain Forest

In the Western Hemisphere, the tropical rain forest reaches its fullest development in the jungles of Central and South America.
  • The trees are very tall and of a great variety of species.
  • One rarely finds two trees of the same species growing close to one another.
  • The vegetation is so dense that little light reaches the forest floor.
  • Most of the plants are evergreen, not deciduous.
  • The branches of the trees are festooned with vines and epiphytes (see the photo taken in the Luquillo National Forest of Puerto Rico).














Taiga

The taiga is named after the biome in Russia.
  • It is a land dominated by conifers, especially spruces and firs.
  • It is dotted with lakes, bogs, and marshes.
  • It is populated by an even more limited variety of plants and animals than is the temperate deciduous forest.
  • In North America, the moose is such a typical member that it has led to the name: "spruce-moose" biome.
  • Before the long, snowy winter sets in, many of the mammals hibernate, and many of the birds migrate south.
  • Although the long days of summer permit plants to grow luxuriantly, net productivity is low.



The two biomes have different weathers, animals, and plants.  In the taiga biome their is bears, moose, fox. In the tropical rain forest their is leopards, toucans, monkeys. What the biomes have in common is that they both have animals and plants.

There have been 5 major extinction events throughout history, are humans impacting the 6th? Why or why not?

I think humans could be instinct because every living organism can. And also we have found fossils of humans, like teeth, the head, an arm. So humans could be instinct cause they are a living organism.
