mostly found either side of the equator; Central and South America, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia.

where is the desert biome located
low-latitude deserts approximately between 18° to 28° in both hemispheres. these latitude belts close to the tropics of cancer and carpricon

found either side of the equator

characeristic of tundra biome
The sun gives little geat and there is little rainfall; only tough short grasses survive
6 of 18
characteristic of temperature biome
high rainfall and there seasonal varations in the sun rays ; tree losethere leaves in cold winters
7 of 18
characteristic of desert biome
where hot dry air sinks down to earth surface and the sun rays are concentrated making it very hot in the day.
8 of 18
characteristic of temperature biome
temperatureis hot and there is heavy rainfall

how climate affects the tropical bome
the high temperature and precipitation of the trf biome produces very high biodiversity

how climate affects biome
As a result, different biomes have different kinds and quantities of plants and animals, which scientists refer to as biodiversity. Biomes with greater kinds or quantities of plants and animals are said to have high biodiversity.

how climate affect the Desert biome
due to low precipitation, extreme temperatures, short growing seasons this means low bidioversity because Because desert biomes are inhospitable to most life, plant growth is slow and animal life is limited. Plants there are short and the burrowing,

how climate affects the tundra biome
n the tundra, the growing season lasts a mere six to eight weeks, and plants there are few and small. Trees can't grow due to permafrost, where only the top few inches of the ground thaw during the short summer.
13 of 18
climate for temperate biome
the temperate deciduous forest and grasslands have better conditions for plant growth.
14 of 18
rock and soil type in terms with biome
this can affect how fertile different areas are within a biome
15 of 18
drainage in term of biome
swamp and bogs occur where drainage is poor; fewer more specialist plants grow in boggy areas
16 of 18
altitude in terms of biome
different plants grow at different temperatures within the same biome; the higher the altitude the lower the temperature
