Tropical ocean Climate- close to the equator so warm, but gets 115in. Of rainfall
each year. Plants- Sea grass, coral reefs, kelp and red coralline. Animals- fish; blue marlin, stone fish, smooth hammer head and
etc… Reptiles; green turtle. Invertebrates; sponges and mollusks. Limiting factors- temperature, current direction, velocity and
run- off from land. Adaptations- Many of the fish adapt to the coral reefs, giving
them protection and a home. The stone fish has adopted over time to their surroundings to help keep protection from predators. All marine life have to adapt to the temperature, tides and water pressure.
Symbiotic relationships- mimicry(small fish), mutualism(shark and suction fish) and parasitism(shark and parasites).
Rainforest Climate- very hot and humid because all the rainfall, rains up to
250cm. Per year. Plants- Trees, epiphytes, lianas and bromeliads. Animals- amphibians; poison dart frog, red- eyed tree frog. Birds;
parrot and toucan. Mammals; jaguar, spider monkey, gorilla and Bengal tiger. Reptiles; anaconda, boa constrictor and black caiman. Aquatics; piranha.
Limiting Factors- Water, food recourses and sunlight. Adaptations- The animals such as birds that display darker colors
hide from predators more easily. Monkeys have adapted by climbing up in trees to look for food and protection. A camouflage mechanism used by frogs, chameleons, poison dart frogs and caterpillars.
Symbiotic relationships- Mutualism( monkeys and trees), Parasitism(leaf-cutter ants) and Commensalism(ants).
