AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Biomes located at middle latitudes (30° to 60°) between the poles and the Equator (temperate deciduous forest, temperate grasslands, and cold deserts) receive more sunlight and have moderate temperatures.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two types of rainforests, tropical and temperate. Tropical rainforests are found closer to the equator where it is warm. Temperate rainforests are found near the cooler coastal areas further north or south of the equator. The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome where it rains all year long.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tropical rainforest occurs in a broad zone outside the equator. Moving from the equator to the North pole, the biomes found are tropical rain forests, temperate grasslands/cold desserts, boreal ( taiga )and Artic (tundra).

Detailed explanation-4: -The corresponding biome is the Deciduous Forest, or Temperate Forest biome. Such forests occur between approximately 25 ° and 50 ° latitude in both hemispheres.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tropical Forest Biomes Tropical forests are found in areas centered on the equator (Figure 4).
