Deserts1 Why Are Deserts Hot
Deserts are areas that receive less than 100mm of rainfall per year. Hot deserts are found between 30 degrees north and south of the equator, where there is little cloud cover and the sun's rays directly heat the land. Deserts are dry because of high pressure systems that form at 30 degrees latitude, which prevent cloud formation and rainfall. The lack of clouds also means heat easily escapes at night, leading to large temperature fluctuations.
Desert Hot and Cold
Hot deserts are located between 30 degrees north and south and have average daytime highs of 38 degrees with nighttime lows of 7 degrees and receive less than 25cm of annual rainfall. Plants have thick stems and deep roots to store water while animals have thick skin or burrow underground to preserve water. Cold deserts receive less than 25cm of annual rainfall and have summer highs between 21-26 degrees and winter lows of -2 to 4 degrees. Plants and animals similarly adapt to the dry, cold conditions by having short statures and burrowing or extending roots underground. The soils in both deserts are salty due to a lack of water washing away minerals.
Landscapes
Rainforests are dense forests found near the equator with high temperatures and rainfall throughout the year. Savannahs are grasslands with scattered trees found in tropical areas with distinct rainy and dry seasons. Deserts have very little rainfall and include sandy, stony, and rock landscapes typically located in the tropics.
Ppt Ecology Biomes
The document discusses several biomes and how their characteristics change based on location from the equator. It describes alpine, tundra, boreal forest, deciduous forest, grasslands, desert, tropical rainforest biomes. Key factors discussed include temperature, rainfall, dominant plants and adaptations, and common animal species.
Tundra Ppt Roll
There are two main types of tundra: Arctic and Alpine. The Arctic Tundra is a cold, treeless, and swampy plain found near the Arctic Ocean in northern regions like Greenland, Alaska, and Canada. Alpine Tundra exists at high elevations in mountains. Arctic animals that live in the tundra include Arctic foxes, caribou, and gray wolves.
Tundra
The tundra is a biome located north of the Arctic Circle where the soil remains frozen except for the top few inches in summer. Summers are short, allowing only low-growing plants like mosses, lichens, grasses, sedges, and flowering herbs to survive. These plants have adapted to the harsh climate by having wide, shallow roots and growing close to the ground to withstand wind and absorb sunlight. When the top soil thaws, it creates boggy areas that provide breeding grounds for insects and habitat for birds.
Unit 5: The ecosystem
This document describes different ecosystems on Earth including aquatic ecosystems like lakes and rivers and terrestrial ecosystems like forests, grasslands, deserts, and tundra. It provides details on the key factors that define different terrestrial biomes, such as temperature and climate, and notes some example plants and animals that are commonly found in tropical rainforests, savannahs, deserts, coniferous forests, and Mediterranean forests.
English p.p.t on desert
The document discusses various aspects of deserts around the world. It describes that deserts are typically located between 5-30 degrees latitude on either side of the equator, and are often found on the western margins of continents. It provides details about the Thar Desert located in India and the climate and lifestyle of people in the Rajasthan region. It also summarizes information about the five largest deserts in the world - Antarctica, Arctic, Sahara, Arabian and Gobi deserts, including their location, size, climate, vegetation and wildlife. Furthermore, it describes some unique plant species found in North American deserts - the Creosote bush, Barrel cactus and Elephant tree.
Taiga[1]
The Taiga, also known as the Boreal Forest, is located in the northern regions of Canada and Siberia. It has long, cold winters and short, mild summers due to its northern latitude. Coniferous trees like pine and spruce dominate the Taiga as they are adapted to its climate with waxy leaves and thick bark. Animals in the Taiga have adaptations like thick fur, large padded feet, and hibernation to survive the harsh winters with little food and long periods of cold temperatures.
Desert Powerpoint
The document summarizes key aspects of the desert biome and human adaptations for survival. It notes that deserts have little rain, high temperatures, and wind. The human body tries to regulate its temperature through sweating, which can cause significant water loss. To survive, humans must replace lost water or risk dehydration and death. The body also conserves water through hormones and limiting urine production. Key body systems like the nervous, excretory, and muscular systems are impacted by the extreme heat and lack of water in the desert environment. The document recommends wearing loose, breathable clothing and sunglasses for protection in desert conditions.
Biomes
This document describes several different biomes and their key characteristics. It discusses the Arctic tundra, alpine tundra, Antarctic tundra, coniferous forest, deciduous forest, tropical rainforest, grasslands, deserts, marine environment, estuaries, coral reefs, and freshwater biomes. For each biome, it provides details on location, climate, dominant plant life, and common animal species found within that environment.
Earth's Biomes
The document discusses different biomes including deserts, grasslands, and forests. It provides details on the key characteristics of each biome such as average temperature, precipitation levels, dominant vegetation, and common animal life. For deserts, the main points are that precipitation is low, evaporation exceeds rainfall, and vegetation is light. Grasslands are defined as having enough rainfall for grass growth and preventing permanent forests. Forests are described as having a variety of plant and tree life that provide habitat for many animal species.
The artic tundra
The document provides information about the Arctic Tundra, including:
- The Arctic Tundra is located around the North Pole at the top of the globe and world maps.
- Weather is very cold, down to -40 degrees F in winter and up to 50 degrees F in summer. Snow may never melt in some areas.
- Animals like polar bears, arctic foxes, and snowy owls are white to camouflage in the snow. Their thick fur protects them from the cold.
- Plants are small and low to the ground due to the cold temperatures and lack of soil. There are no trees.
Tundra1
The tundra biome covers a fifth of the Earth's surface and is characterized by an extreme cold climate, low biodiversity, simple vegetation structure, and a short growing season. Plants and animals in the tundra have adaptations to survive the harsh conditions like growing close to the ground, changing fur color seasonally, and producing antifreeze compounds. The nutrient cycle is also slowed by the cold temperatures and permafrost. Human activities like overhunting and climate change have negatively impacted the fragile tundra ecosystem.

Cold deserts
Cold deserts have little rainfall and low temperatures below 0°C. The two main polar regions that contain cold deserts are the Arctic and Antarctic. Animals that live in cold deserts, like polar foxes, lemmings, and reindeer, have adapted thick fur or fat to help retain heat. Vegetation is also adapted to the extreme climate and consists mainly of algae, lichens, mosses, and dwarf shrubs. Climate change is negatively impacting some cold desert regions as temperatures rise and habitats disappear.
Antarctic Desert
The Antarctic desert, located in Antarctica, has an annual precipitation of only 200 mm and temperatures as low as -89°C. It is covered by ice 98% of the time. Though the climate does not allow for extensive vegetation, there are some mosses, liverworts, and two flowering plant species that can survive the cold temperatures and winds by growing close to the ground with small leaves. Animals that live there include penguins, skua, mites, springtails, and worms.

Solution
Land Biomes
These are the 8 different land biomes in order from coldest to warmest
Tundra
Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi, meaning
treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little
precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a
nutrient pool. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is created by
biological fixation, and phosphorus is created by precipitation. It is also the driest biome next to
the desert.
Characteristics of tundra include:
Extremely cold climate
Low biotic diversity
Simple vegetation structure
Limitation of drainage
Short season of growth and reproduction
Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic material
Large population oscillations
Coniferous Forest (also known as Taiga)
The Coniferous Forest is a forest of Conifers (too much to handle, isn\'t it?). A Conifer is a tree
that produces its seeds in cones. The Pine tree is the most common example. Conifer leaves
conserve water with the thick, waxy layer that covers their leaves, also known as needles. The
vegitation in the Coniferous forest is small in size, but large enough to feed the vast herbivore
population. Most of these animals survive the brutal winters by migrating or hibernating.
Average Annual Rainfall- 14-29.5 in.
Average Temperatures in the Summer- 57.2°F
Average Temperatures in the Winter- 14°F
Deciduous Forest (also known as temperate forest)
Deciduous forests can be found in the eastern half of North America, and the middle of Europe.
There are many deciduous forests in Asia. Some of the major areas that they are in are southwest
Russia, Japan, and eastern China. South America has two big areas of deciduous forests in
southern Chile and Middle East coast of Paraguay. There are deciduous forests located in New
Zealand, and southeastern Australia also.

The continental climate has extreme temperature variations between hot summers and cold winters and low, scattered rainfall, with taiga forests and steppes.
2-3 Climate Zones & Vegetation
The document summarizes the major climate zones of the world, describing their typical locations, seasons, vegetation, and precipitation. It outlines tropical zones near the equator including rainforests and savannas, mid-latitude zones with climates modulated by oceans/mountains like Mediterranean and marine west coast, and high-latitude zones including tundra, ice caps, and subarctic forests. It also covers dry climates such as deserts and steppes.
The Diverse Ecosystems APBio
The document discusses factors that influence the distribution of life on Earth. Climate patterns are determined by variables like sunlight, atmosphere, oceans currents, elevation, and continent positions. These factors create different biomes across the planet based on temperature and rainfall levels. Biomes include tropical rainforests, savannas, deserts, grasslands, temperate forests, tundras, and aquatic ecosystems in rivers, lakes, oceans, and hydrothermal vents. The distribution of species is limited by the availability of water, nutrients, temperatures, and other conditions within each biome.
Ecologist
The document summarizes the climate and characteristics of tropical rainforests. It notes that tropical rainforests receive about 250 cm of rain annually due to warm, humid air near the equator. The dense tree cover intercepts much of the rainfall before it reaches the ground. Trees can grow over 164 feet tall in the hot, wet climate that averages 77 degrees Fahrenheit year-round and never drops below 64 degrees.
Ecologist
The document summarizes the climate and characteristics of tropical rainforests. It notes that rainforests receive about 250 cm of rain annually due to warm, humid air near the equator that leads to heavy condensation and rainfall. Trees can reach heights over 164 feet and the average temperature is around 77 degrees Fahrenheit, remaining stable year-round between 64-77 degrees. The document provides details on the rainforest climate classification and recommends the best times to visit being July-September and December-January to see wildlife while avoiding higher temperatures.

The document describes the key characteristics of 7 major climate types:
1. Equatorial climate has high, consistent temperatures around 25°C, abundant rainfall around 2000 l/m2, and lush vegetation including rainforests with some trees over 40 meters tall.
2. Tropical climate has consistently high temperatures over 18°C with slightly more variation than equatorial, alternating rainy and dry seasons, and vegetation including tropical forests and savannas with tall grass.
3. Hot desert climate has large temperature variations between very hot days and cold nights, little irregular rainfall under 250 l/m2, and almost no vegetation except for oasis with date palms.
Landscape of the world. Cold climates
Polar climate is located above the polar circles, with average temperatures around 0°C. Winters are very cold from -10°C to -50°C, and there is no real summer with the warmest month under 10°C. Precipitation is low and falls as snow. The landscape is characterized by perpetual ice with no vegetation due to frozen soil. Fauna includes penguins, whales, seals and polar bears. Near temperate zones, the tundra climate has a short summer where ice melts and small vegetation like grass and shrubs can grow, and animals such as reindeer, foxes and wolves live here. Alpine or high mountain climate occurs in mountain areas and is
Climates of the World - Cards
This document describes several different climate types around the world. It provides details on the location, temperatures, precipitation, and typical vegetation for equatorial, tropical, hot desert, Mediterranean, oceanic, continental, polar, mountain, and taiga climates. The equatorial climate has very high, consistent temperatures near the equator with heavy rainfall and dense jungle vegetation.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

“An Outlook of the Ongoing and Future Relationship between Blockchain Technologies and Process-aware Information Systems.” Invited talk at the joint workshop on Blockchain for Information Systems (BC4IS) and Blockchain for Trusted Data Sharing (B4TDS), co-located with with the 36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE), 3 June 2024, Limassol, Cyprus.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Land biomes
- 1. Land Biomes Por: Isa O y Aleja
- 2. Introduction: Differentecosystems are home to different kinds of organisms, certain ones. There are different kinds of certain places and the scientific name is ¨Biomes¨, Which means: A large region characterized by a specific type of climate and certain types of plants and animal communities.
- 3. This map shows some of the major land biomes on Earth.
- 4. Forest Biomes: Temperate Deciouous Forest Caniferous Forest Tropical Rain Forest
- 5. Temperate Deciduous Forest Characteristics: In forests, plants growth happends in layers. The leafy tops of the trees reach high above the forest floor, where the leaves can get sunlight. Woody shrubs catch the light that filters trhough the trees. Ferns and mosses are scattered across the firest floor. Flowering plants often bloom in early spring, before the trees grow new leaves. The word deciduous comes fron the Latin word taht means ¨ to fall off¨
- 6. Average Yearly Rainfall: 75-125 cm Average tempetures: S: 28°C W: 6°C
- 7. Coniferous Forest: Characteristic: These Conifer leaves are adapted to conserve water. A coniferous forest is home to many insects and to birds that eat those insects. Hervivores that live in thise forest include deer, moose, porcuponines, and squirrels.
- 8. Average Yearly Rainfall: 35-75 cm Average Temperatures: S: 14°C W: -10°C
- 9. Tropical Rain Forest Characteristics: Trees from a continuous green roof, or canopy that may exted 60 m above the forest floor. Woody vines climb the tree trunks to reach sunlight. Little light reaches the ground. Low-growing plants in the rain forest don´t need a lot of light.
- 10. Average Yearly Rainfall: Up to 400 cm Average Temperatures: Day: 34°C Night:20°C
- 11. Grasslands Temperate Grasslands Savannas
- 12. Temperate Grasslands: Characteristics: Temperate grasslands plants includes grasses and other flowering plants. Temperate Grasslands have few trees.
- 13. Average yearly rainfall: 25-75 cm Average Tempetures: S: 30°C W: 0°C
- 14. Savannas: Characteristics: A grassland that often has scattered trees and taht is found in tropical and subtropical areas where seasonal rains, fires, and drought happend. During dry seasons, savanna grasses dry out and turn yellow.
- 15. Average Yearly Rainfall: 150 cm Average tempetures: Dry: 34°C Wet: 16°C
- 16. Desert: Characteristics: A region that has little or no plant life, kong periods without rain and extreme temperatures; usually found in hot climates. Deep-rooted plants can reach groundwater as deep as 30 cm. Some flowering plants bloom, bear seeds, and die within a few weeks after a heavy rain. Most living things have something special to survive in the desert.
- 17. Average Yearly Rainfall: Less than 25 cm Average Tempetures: S: 38°C W: 7°C
