Shanghai, China is located in Eastern China. The biome for this location is a deciduous forest. In this biome it contains broad leaved deciduous trees. The usual precipitation for these areas is thirty to sixty inches for summer and winter. The soils are reasonably well developed.

The climate for Shanghai consists of many different temperatures and changes through out the year. In the winter the temperatures usually get to freezing, most likely under freezing as well. In the summer time, the temperature usually is around ninety degrees. Heavy rains are usually present in the early summers, and last through out the summer. Spring starts in March, summer in June, autumn in September, and winter in December. Spring has a warm-cold feeling. Where as summer is usually always hot. Autumn is sunny and relatively dry. Winter is always cold and has a lot of snowfalls.

The average precipitation differs from month to month. Here are the basic monthly averages.

December gets 1.5/1.6 inches.

I had no idea what you meant by what kind of precipitation. I tried searching on Google for anything to deal with that, but I could not find anything.

The temperature range is anywhere between thirty-one degrees to ninety-two degrees Fahrenheit. The degrees can be lower or higher then that. Those are just the high and low averages.

Those animals are, The Giant Panda, the South Chinese Tiger, the Chinese Alligator, Takin, and the Golden Lion Tamarin. A plant that is found in Shanghai is Bamboo. These are plants that the Giant Panda rely on for food. I really could not find anything else.

To me that is the basic impact. If they would have made the city smaller in size then not so many people would live there and they would not have as many buildings either.

Trees and plans were ruined because of this. The air pollution

in the city is probably terrible as well.

On November twenty-fifth two thousand five, Shanghai's sun rose at six-thirty seven a.m and set at four forty-six p.m. The sun would have been up for approximately ten hours.

The average elevation is four meters above sea level. Most parts of Shanghai are flat and are apart of the Yangtze River Delta.

Some of natural disasters that have recently happened have affected the city in many ways. The death and the fact that houses and buildings have got torn down.
