Its bowl-like geography causes an entrapment of fog, air pollution and much of the horrible heat waves that are present during summer months. The San Joaquin Valley is hot and dry in summer with long, sunny days. Winters are moist and often blanketed with heavy fog. Due to San Joaquin Valley’s geography Tule fog is often a problem during the winter. Tule fog is a very thick fog that collects in parts of California during the rainy season of the late fall and winter.
Savannas have warm temperature year round. There are actually two very different seasons in a savanna; a very long dry season (winter), and a very wet season (summer). The tropical savanna is generally found in regions dominated by the wet-dry tropical climate such as Australia, and Africa. An extensive cover of tall grasses, sometimes reaching a height of 3 meters, is found in the tropical savanna. Most savanna grass is coarse and grows in tufts with intervening patches of bare ground.
Where it flows through South Texas is called the lower Rio Grande valley. The Rio Grande Valley is an ecosystem found nowhere else in the United States. It is a subtropical environment, which lies further south than any other part of the United States except Hawaii and part of Florida. It is very humid. Many tropical birds from South America can be found here.
Due to this varied topography and oceanic influence, a great variety of climatic zones exist. The climatic zones range from the extreme desert of the southern Namib in the farthest northwest to the lush subtropical climate in the east along the Mozambique border and the Indian Ocean. Winters in South Africa occur between June and

Organism Physiology Paper: Rattle Snake April 16, 2012 The desert biome offers a unique ecosystem where organism must become accustomed to extreme temperatures ranging from the high 120 degrees in the summer to below 30 degrees in the winter. On top of extreme temperatures, organisms who live in this environment must also deal with dryness or low rainfall. Therefore, animals living in this ecosystem must adapt to withstanding very hot and very cold weather as well as surviving on the small food supply available in this environment. A prime example of this ecosystem is the Southwestern Desert. So what types of animals could possibly survive these harsh climate changes?
