  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Both a and b


There is very little vegetation within the desert due to the lack of rainfall. Vegetation will be very sparse and plants will cluster in areas where the growing conditions are slightly better.

Vegetation found within deserts is highly adapted to the extreme conditions found in these locations. Many plants are low-growing so that they can avoid water loss as their surface area is smaller. They also have small thick leaves or needles, like cacti, this means that less water is lost through evapotranspiration. Cacti also have a thick stem which can be used to store water, they can expand and store water during times of rainfall. Many plants also have long roots which travel horizontally to reach the maximum surface areas for water to find any surface moisture.

The grasslands of the northern and southern hemispheres experience different climates.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Yes.
The biggest factor in differences in the climate in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres has to do with the distribution of land vs. ocean. The Northern Hemisphere has much more of Earth’s land masses, while the Southern Hemisphere has a larger fraction of ocean.

There is more than one reason this is important. First, land and ocean heat and cool at different rates. Land heats up and cools down much faster (over a period of a day) compared with ocean (over a period of months).

Steppes or Temperate Grassland climate is found around the ___________.

  1. Caspian Sea in Western Asia

  2. Caspian Sea in Eastern Asia

  3. Caspian Sea in South Asia

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Steppes or Temperate Grassland climate is found around the Caspian sea in Western Asia.
Grasslands (steppes) are temperate environments, with warm to hot summers and cool to very cold winters; temperatures are often extreme in these midcontinental areas. They are often located between temperate forests and deserts, and annual precipitation falls between the amounts characteristic of those zones.
