ACTIVITY GUIDES
Mountains have massive impacts on weather and climate, creating diverse habitats. One of the most influential weather events is called rain shadow.
In almost every ecosystem, energy begins with the Sun. When its rays reach Earth, producers (usually plants) harness that light energy and turn it into chemical energy through a process called photosynthesis.
Wild Asia: Life at Extremes introduces some of the many amazing animals that live in the harsh conditions found across Asia. In this activity guide, you will come to understand how these amazing animals are uniquely adapted to not only survive but thrive in these extreme conditions
