AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Because each biome is defined by climate, the same biome can occur in geographically distinct areas with similar climates (Figures 1 and 2). Tropical rainforests are found in equatorial regions (Figure 1) are the most biodiverse terrestrial biome.

Detailed explanation-2: -Terrestrial biomes are distinguished primarily by their predominant vegetation, and are mainly determined by temperature and rainfall. Differences in temperature or precipitation determine the types of plants that grow in a given area (Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-3: -Terrestrial biomes are forests, grassland, desert, and tundra.

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.
