Task 4, 5, 6

The fourth, fifth and sixth tasks are based on knowledge of common animals and plants. Some animals (bear, lizards, tiger, and fox) live in more climate zones but most animals are limited to the relevant climate zone. The animals have different adaptations (body size, fat layer, length of limbs, size of ears, etc., darkness of the body, hibernation) from which the climatic conditions can be partly derived. In the task with plants, pupils should realize that water management differs between different types of plants and may not always be associated with a certain climate (cacti are in temperate, subtropical and tropical climates, the condition is lack of precipitation). Similar conditions lead to the same adaptation and therefore appearance between different plants (succulents: cacti, spurges, houseleeks). Plants growing in water (lilies, pond-lilies, victories, and pondweed) do not have a problem with water scarcity and can occur independently of the climate, if water is available in lakes and rivers.
