Aregion in china has steppes with very few trees. it receives a little more rain than arid desert climates receive. this region also has contrasting seasons with cold and hot temperatures. it is home to many grazing animals, such as deer. which factors define this area as a semiarid climate? check all that apply. -receives little rain -is located in china -has steppes with few trees -has grazing animals, such as deer -has hot and cold temperatures

The correct answers are:

- receives little rain;

The precipitation patters are one of the two most important factors by which the climate is defined. The fact that the described region has small amount of precipitation, puts into the category of arid or semi-arid climate region.

- has steppes with few trees;

The vegetation type is a nice indicator of the climate conditions at a certain region. The steppes are grasslands that have short grasses, and they are found on places where the precipitation is low. Also, the fact that there's very few trees in the region, suggests that the precipitation is low, as the trees require certain amount of water to be able to survive.

Explanation:

I just did the test.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
