What is the region of dense vegetation?
Rain forest is the name given to such a region.
What do you call an area of dense vegetation and a wet climate?
A rain forest is simply an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Even the cool evergreen forests of North America’s Pacific Northwest and Northern Europe are a type of rainforest. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.
What is a climatic region?
Definition. Climatic region refers to a continuous geographic area in which similar climate characteristics are observed. Geographic area refers to areas whose boundaries are specifically delimited in accordance with well-defined concepts and which, in total, cover the entire landmass of Canada.
What subregion which is located close to the region is frequently cloudy foggy and damp?
MARINE WEST COAST
MARINE WEST COAST. This climate subregion, which is located close to the ocean, is frequently cloudy, foggy, and damp. The winds over the warm ocean moderate the temperatures and keep them relatively constant. Parts of the west coast of the United States and Canada and most of Western Europe experience this climate.
What is a vegetation region?
Noun. area with distinct plant types, determined by climate, soil, drainage, and elevation. There are five major vegetation regions: forest, grassland, tundra, desert, and ice sheet.
What is the main vegetation region in central Canada?
Boreal and Taiga Forest Traveling directly south from the Arctic Tundra, the Boreal and Taiga Forest is encountered. This region is Canada’s largest vegetation region. The region is dominated by a sparely populated community of plants that are capable of surviving cool, short summers and long, cold winters.
What trees grow in the Southeast region?
Common varieties that grow in the Southeast include:
- Loblolly.
- Longleaf.
- Shortleaf.
- Table Mountain pine.
- White pine.
- Spruce pine.
What is the vegetation in the southwest region?
Vegetation of the southwest generally includes various types of yucca, along with saguaro cactus, barrel cactus, prickly pear cactus, desert spoon, creosote bush, sagebrush, and greasewood.
What is a Clamatic region?
What type of vegetation is found in temperate zone?
Seasonal temperate zone areas with moderate precipitation usually support broad-leafed, deciduous trees, whereas tough-leafed (sclerophyllous) evergreen shrubs, or so-called chaparral-type vegetation, occur in regions with winter rains and a pronounced long water deficit during spring, summer, and fall.
What types of plants are in the tropical rainforest?
Thus, climbing vines, epiphytes, and broad-leafed species characterize tropical rain forests. Evergreen conifers dominate very cold areas at high latitudes and/or altitudes, whereas small frost-resistant tundra species occupy still higher latitudes and altitudes.
How can we predict the dominant biome in a tropical area?
Over many large tropical areas, the dominant biome (forest, savanna or grassland) can not be predicted only by the climate, as historical events plays also a key role, for example, fire activity. In some areas, indeed, it is possible for there to be multiple stable biomes.
What type of climate do rain forests live in?
Thus, rain forests occur in rainy tropical and rainy warm-temperature climates, forests exist under more moderate mesic climates, savannas and grasslands prevail in semiarid climates, and deserts characterize still drier climates.
