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.

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.
In addition, all countries west of the Prime Meridian are in the Western Hemisphere while those east of the Prime Meridian are in the Eastern Hemisphere.Generally the Eastern Hemisphere includes most of Africa, about half of Antarctica, all of Asia and Australia/Oceania, and most of Europe.The Western Hemisphere includes about half of Antarctica and all of North and South America, which includes the Caribbean, Central America and Greenland.he red vertical imaginary line called the Prime Meridian, at 0Âº degrees longitude, and its twin line of longitude, opposite the Prime Meridian at 180Âº longitude, divides the earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
