Meteorologist-Mia

• Temperatures:All of their rain in the summerTemperatures range 88 to 86 degrees FMost of the time it's cooler in the dry season only by a few degrees.Winter temp range from 68 to 78 dredges F.Summer 78 to 86 dredges F.It does not change a lot.

Meteorologist • precipitation:

10-30in of rainDecember to February almost no rain falls20-50 inches) per year

• sunlight/daylight totals:the sun comes up at about 6:45 A.M. and it sets around 7:30 p.m.Humidity: in the summer, it's moist and very humid. west of the Mississippi river it's warm moist and extremely humid.

• Wind velocity:There is not a lot of natural barriers so there is content wind. They wind would make everything very windy.

Weather patterns

• this shows that in June, July, August, and September the most rain falls and the temperature is the highest compared to January, February, March, April, May, October, November, and December.

• The weather patterns month to month predict a lot of rain and the substantial amount of rain may eliminate the other factors, which can stop the growth of trees. Another theory suggest that the grasslands and Savannahs will only expand not shrink Because of climate change By devastation, if there are fewer trees to soke up moisture grasses. Will flourish Evan move and maybe over take the areas that surrounded the grasslands and Savannah ecosystem. Also fewer trees will Be less healthy air for humans and animals.

Geographer-Anna

• Where They Are• The Savannah biome is found in Africa, South

America, India, and Australia.• What Is In There• Savannas are flat and have trees widely

spread and scattered. The trees are more regularly spaced as a forest too.Savanna may have a river or a drinking hole for the animals.

Geographer

• Large areas of Australian and South American savannas have been cleared of trees, and this clearing is continuing today. For example until recently 480,000 trees of the savanna were cleared annually in Australia alone primarily to improve pasture production.

Botanist-Leo

• Tropical grasslands are dominated by grasses, often 3 to 6 feet tall at maturity. They may have some drought-resistant, fire-resistant or browse-resistant trees, or they may have an open shrub layer. They develop in regions where the climax community should be forest, but drought and fire prevent the establishment of many trees. All these factors contribute on what and what not can grow their. Sunlight and soil affects what can grow. All of these plants can live in dry and sometimes wet climates.

Plants

• Acacia Previously contained roughly 1,300 species, about 960 of them native to Australia. While its unique shape and blossoms are eye-catching, the Acacia's appearance reveals just a hint of its functions. Recognizing the many aspects of your life that are impacted by the Acacia will help you truly appreciate all the tree has to offer.

• Cat Tails The inflorescence is sometimes used in flower arrangements. Due to the few leaves, it is seldom grazed. It is sometimes a weed in disturbed places, but is easy to control mechanically.

Plants• Bonatea is an orchid native to tropical and southern Africa, with one

species extending into Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

• RhododendronAustralian Rhododendron is small shrub growing to one meter tall. The glossy

leaves are elliptical and grow up to 10 cm long and 5 cm wide, and are thick and stiff.

• The biennial red and green kangaroo paw is the floral emblem of Western Australia. What really catches the eye is the plants green unscented flowers that can grow up to 10 centimeters long. The green furry flowers are attached to the sturdy red stem.
