Earthworm is a classic example of terrestrial detritivores, but slugs, woodlice, dung flies, millipedes, and most of the worms are some of the other examples. Detritivores are recyclers of energy as they are being the food sources for the consumers such as carnivores. They recycle the energy mainly in forms of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. The decomposing biological matter is ingested into detritivores, digest inside their digestive system, and shed in simple forms.
Loading. TEMPERATE ZONES The designation temperate is appropriate for the middle latitudes of the southern hemisphere and of the oceans and western coasts in the northern hemisphere, but not for the con tinental interiors and eastern coasts of Asia and North America, for which Koppen's term boreal is better.
(temperate) Color the northern temperate zone using a green crayon and label it Temperate. (Teacher does the same on the transparency.) There will be a section of the map (the southern temperate zone) not colored. Ask the students to suggest the name of this climate zone. Draw their attention to the pattern of two polar climate zones, and two sets of other zones. They may conclude that the southern zone next to the Antarctic is also temperate. Have them label this zone Temperate and color it green. Social Studies Coalition of Delaware Deinert, Eli, Miller â Climate Zones 3
