Detailed explanation-1: -For example, all tropical rainforest biomes are located near the equator, which is why they never experience cold temperatures, and receive high amounts of sunlight and rainfall all year round.
Detailed explanation-2: -Closer to the equator, biomes are generally warmer and wetter, as warmer air holds more moisture than colder air.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biomes differ in the amount of precipitation they receive, their temperatures, and the life that inhabits each biome. For example, the types of organisms found in the subtropical desert differ drastically from the organisms found in a tropical rainforest.
Detailed explanation-4: -Rainforests receive the most rain of all of the biomes in a year! A typical year sees 2, 000 to 10, 000 millimeters (79 to 394 inches) of rain per year.
Detailed explanation-5: -The desert and tundra biomes receive about the same amount of rainfall per year. Compare the other characteristics of these two biomes.
