Where in the world

     If you are ever stuck somewhere and have no idea where you are maybe just maybe this blog post will help you. One way to find roughly where you are is to look at the biome. Here is a map showing biomes all over the world.

     If you don't have a map then you should know that areas around the equator are hotter and the father you go from the equator the colder it gets. Rainforest have lots of plants and is very humid. The savanna is like a grassland but it has a few trees and is prone to fire. The desert is very hot and can be sand or rock. The temperate forest is what everyone thinks of as a forest. The grasslands is a lot like the savanna but has less tress. The tundra wouldn't have a lot of plants because of a thick layer of ice under the ground, and the taiga forest is a very snowy version of the temperate forest.

     You can also tell where you are based on the species of plants in the area. Certain plants are only indigenous to certain areas, but others are seemingly everywhere. The plants can also help you find which biome you are in. If the area you are in has lots of low laying plants and large trees, then you are probably in a rain forest. If there are cacti then you are most likely in a desert.

    Now a short quiz
1. If you are in an area that is very hot and humid area what biome do you think you are in?
a. Desert
b. Tundra
c. RainForest
2. If where you are is very hot where are you roughly on a map.
a. At the poles
b. At the equator
c. In Russia.
