¿Que pasa con lo que comemos?
En la clase de biología tuvimos que intervenir una imagen con thinglink y poner las partes del sistema digestivo y sus funciones.

Climates
Cold Climate. Polar bears are well-adapted to a life on the sea ice and Arctic weather that can be fiercely cold.
In the High Arctic, the sun sets in October and doesn't rise again until late February. Winter temperatures can plunge to -40° or -50° F and stay that way for days or weeks. The average January and February temperature is -29°F.
Savanna
the Climate is warm, wet and dry it is located between the tropical rainforest and the dessert. Precipitations, in a year it rain 1259.3 mm, it rain a lot during the hole year and there are not dryes, it is clearly a wet biome.
Tundra Climate (E)
The tundra is a bleak and treeless place. It is cold through all months of the year Summer is a brief period of milder climates when the sun shines almost 24 hours a day. It has been called "the land of the midnight sun". But even the sun can't warm the tundra much. The short summer lasts only 6 to 10 weeks. It never gets any warmer than 45 or 50° F. The warmer weather causes a layer of permafrost, ice that never goes away in the ground, to melt, creating bogs and shallow lakes that don't drain. They breed stinging insects, which make life even in the summer miserable for the inhabitants of the tundra. The wind blows constantly, whipping around the small plants.
Monsoon
The monsoon climate beyond the equatorial region between 10◦ and 25 ◦ and North and South of the equator.The countries are along the coastal regions of southwest India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, South western Africa, French Guiana, and northeast and southeastern Brazil.
Temperature:
The monsoon climate has a high mean annual temperature and a small annual temperature range like equatorial climate.
India Climate
A greater variation in the mean monthly temperatures . In northern hemisphere, autumn and winter are experienced between october and february. Monsoon countries in the north experience lower temperature during these month.Between March and September, it is spring and summer in the northern hemisphere. Temperatures increase and monsoon countries experience warmer weather during this period. The diurnal temperature range varies with the wet and dry seasons.
Precipitation
Many think that the term “monsoon” means wet weather, when in fact it describes an atmospheric circulation pattern.Monsoon precipitation is concentrated into the high-sun season.
Maritime equatorial and maritime tropical air masses travel from the ocean on to land during the summer, where they are uplifted by either convection or convergence of air to induce condensation.
As air travels into the Indian subcontinent, it is uplifted by the Himalayas, causing cloud development and precipitation.The low-sun season is characterized by a short drought season when high pressure inhibits precipitation formation.A distinct dry season from October to May, when the temperature are lower, the interior of Asia is a region of high pressure. Wind blow over the land in a north east direction , carrying little or no moisture with them. These cool , dry North East Monsoon winds blows toward areas of low pressure and do not bring rain. A wet season from June to September, when the wind change in direction, the wind blow in the region of low pressure. Winds blow across the equator and blow over the oceans, they are warmer and carry a lot of moisture. They bring alot of rain. Total rainfall can reach 600 mm
TROPICAL MONSOON FOREST
It found in tropical areas with a distinct dry season. Examples part of India, Bangladesh, South east Asia, China, South Central Africa, the West Indies, Central and South America and Australia. Tropical Monsoon forest has three layered structure.This layers are:
1.Canopy tree– from 25 to 30 m tall and grow closely together to form a continuous canopy layer. Epiphytes and lianas and parasitics plants are found on the canopy.
2.Understorey layer– a layer of shorter tree about 15 m.
3.Ground layer– very dense layer of shrubs.
Most of trees are deciduous trees which shed all their leaves over the same period of time. - - -The trees shed their leaves during the dry season.
-Deciduous tree
-Tropical Monsoon forest are hardwoods
- Examples are Teak and Rosewoods
Equatorial climate
The average monthly temperatures are about 26 – 28 degrees Celsius. The annual temperature range (the difference between the average temperature of the hottest and coldest months) is very small
Many regions close to the equator experience an equatorial climate. These regions include, the Amazon Basin (South America), the Congo Basin (Africa), Malaysia, Indonesia and some areas in northern Australia.Another major characteristic of this climate is the high rainfall.
Hot and dry desert
located all around the world, in some parts of north america, south america, africa, asia, europe and oceania. The seasons are generally warm throughout the year and very hot in the summer. The winters usually bring little rainfall.Many mean annual temperatures range from 20-25° C. The extreme maximum ranges from 43.5-49° C. Minimum temperatures sometimes drop to -18° C.Rainfalls are very low. As there is a lot of evaporation, sometimes rainfall is evaporated before falling. Soils are course-textured, shallow and rocky.Plants are mainly ground-hugging shrubs and short woody trees. These plants include: yuccas, ocotillo, turpentine bush, prickly pears, false mesquite, sotol, ephedras, agaves and brittlebush.The animals include small nocturnal (active at night) carnivores. The dominant animals are burrowers and kangaroo rats. There are also insects, arachnids, reptiles and birds.
Köppen Climate Classification System
The Köppen Climate Classification System is the most widespread system used to classify the climates of places on our planet. The system was developed by a German climatologist and amateur botanist Wladimir Köppen (1846-1940) who divided the world's climates into several major categories based upon general temperature profile related to latitude.
In the High Arctic, the sun sets in October and doesn't rise again until late February. Winter temperatures can plunge to -40° or -50° F and stay that way for days or weeks. The average January and February temperature is -29°F.

¿Que pasa con lo que comemos?
Si hablamos de la nutrición no podemos no hablar del sistema digestivo, es decir hablar de lo que pasa cuando decidimos comer algo, ¿A donde va lo que comemos? ¿Que recorrido hace? ¿Donde termina? ¿Todo el alimento hace el mismo recorrido? Aca en este "thinglink" te muestra el recorrido del sistema digestivo.
