Climate and Natural Vegetation
What does your spec say?
- Describe and explain the mean temperature of the hottest month, mean
temperature of the coolest month, annual range, the amount of precipitation and
seasonal distribution of precipitation of two climates: equatorial and hot desert
- Factors influencing the characteristics of these climates (including latitude, pressure
systems, winds, distance from the sea, altitude and ocean currents)
- Climatic graphs showing the main characteristics of temperature and rainfall of the
two climates
- Describe and explain the characteristics of tropical rainforest and hot desert
ecosystems
- The relationship in each ecosystem of natural vegetation, soil, wildlife and climate.
- Describe the causes and effects of deforestation of tropical rainforest.
- Effects on the natural environment (both locally and globally) along with effects on
people.
- Case studies: An area of tropical rainforest (Borneo) and an area of hot desert
(Namib)
