Mountain Plant Life Mountain Plant Life. Southern California has a Mediterranean climate. This means that the weather is warm and dry in the summer, and cool and wet in the winter. The San Bernardino Mountains are well known for their lush forests of tall pine trees, but there are many other types of plants that live here. Deep-rooted chaparral covers the southern face of. the San Bernardino Mountains.

- No, the climate on a mountain varies depending on what altitude (how high) you are up a mountain. At the foothills (near the bottom) there may be a tropical climate, whilst the peaks (the very top of mountains) may be covered in ice.

- During the weather patterns that existed when the Spanish explorers came to California, the Chaparral was REAL cold. The temperatures were probably -20F (-29C) along much of the central coast ranges. In most of California the climate is called Mediterranean, which corresponds with the Chaparral plant community.uring the weather patterns that existed when the Spanish explorers came to California, the Chaparral was REAL cold.

Sunset climate zones: San Francisco Bay Area and inland Zones 15 and 16 are areas of Central and Northern California that are influenced by marine air approximately 85 percent of the time and by inland air 15 percent of the time.Also worthy of note is that although Zone 16 is within the Northern California coastal climate area, its winters are milder because the areas in this zone are in thermal belts (explained on page 28).

Coniferous Forest Among the coniferous forests in the park is a temperate rain forest found in its lower western and southern regions. Temperate rain forests grow at higher latitudes than tropical rain forests. Forests on the western side of the park experience heavy precipitation, 12-14 feet (3.6-4.3 meters) annually.

Cardiac Arrest Causes Cardiac Arrhythmia. By far, the most common cause of cardiac arrest--especially sudden cardiac arrest--is an arrhythmia. A cardiac arrhythmia is a problem in the heart's electrical communication system, the system responsible for making the heart beat regularly at the right rate.

What is the elevation of the tree line? The elevation of the tree line varies. The tree line is the point on a particular mountain above which no trees grow. Mt. Washington in New Hampshire is shorter than a number of mountains in North Carolina. Mt. Washington has a tree line.The taller mountains in North Carolina do not.ome elevations of 2000 feet are the limit. Other elevations such as the Andes mountains approach 17000 feet. Typically in … the United States Rockies, it is about 9000 feet for tree lines. A lot depends upon the climate at a particular altitude.

Alpine tundra Alpine climate is the average weather (climate) for the alpine tundra. The climate becomes colder at high elevations —this characteristic is described by the lapse rate of air: air tends to get colder as it rises, since it expands.lpine tundra in North-Western Transbaikalia. Alpine tundra is a type of natural region or biome that does not contain trees because it is at high altitude. The high altitude causes an adverse climate, which is too cold and windy to support tree growth.

How high is the tree line? The tree line is defined as: 1. (noun) timber line, timberline, tree line line marking the upper limit of tree growth in mountains or northern latitudes. Scientists have estimated that California's Redwood trees can reach up to 130 meters, the height of a 35 story building.ree line varies with latitude. In central Alaska tree line can be as low as 500 ft, on the west side of the crest of the Cascade Mountain range tree line is around 6000 feet.

- The Atacama Desert, however, is unique because its hyperarid climate minimizes leaching losses and preserves nitrate (Ericksen, 1983). The hyperarid climate of the desert comes from its geographical location. The desert is located between the Chilean Coast Range and the Andes Mountains (see Figure 2). These two mountain ranges create rain shadows, preventing most of the moisture from the Pacific Ocean and Amazon basin from reaching the desert (Houston & Hartley, 2003).

What Are the Vertical Climate Zones in Latin America? The tierra caliente zone is hot and comprises tropical rainforests and savannas. The tierra templada is a temperate zone of evergreen forests. Coffee is an important economic crop in this zone. The tierra fria is the upper limit of natural tree growth and is a region of high plateaus and mountain valleys.

Organisms at high altitude Main article: High-altitude adaptation in humans. At elevation higher than 8,000 metres (26,000 ft), which is called the death zone in mountaineering, the available oxygen in the air is so low that it is considered insufficient to support life.mong animals only few mammals (such as yak, ibex, Tibetan gazelle, vicunas, llamas, mountain goats, etc.) and certain birds are known to have completely adapted to high-altitude environments.

An area with little precipitation has a dry or arid climate. There are three basic climate zones. 1  Tropical climate zone. 2  This is an area that falls between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.

Geography Alive Chapter 13 It lies between 6,000 - 12,000 ft, average temperatures vary from 55°F to 65°F. Mountains and valleys are the main physical feature of the zone, the mountains are steep and rugged, but flat basins and plateaus can be found amond the peaks. Vegetations depends partly on rainfall. Elevation also affects what grows where. The tree line in the central Andes lies between 10,000 and 12,000 feet. The tree line is the highest elevation at which trees will grow on a mountain.

For more details on the ecology of high elevation in this region, see Great Basin montane forest.he climate of the Great Basin desert is characterized by extremes: hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters; frigid alpine ridges and warm, windy valleys; days over 90 °F (32 °C) followed by nights near 40 °F (4 °C). This is the climate of the high desert.
