Detailed explanation-1: -Moving from the poles to the equator, you will find (in order) Arctic, boreal, temperate, subtropical, and tropical biomes. Humidity is the amount of water in the air.
Detailed explanation-2: -Arctic and subarctic biomes are found near the north and south poles or at high altitudes in other climate zones. The biomes include tundra and boreal forests. Both have cold, dry climates and poor soil. They can support only limited plant growth and have low biodiversity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical Forest Biomes Tropical forests are found in areas centered on the equator (Figure 4).
Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Biomes are determined primarily by temperature and precipitation. Generally speaking, biomes at higher latitudes (further away from the equator) are cooler and drier. Closer to the equator, biomes are generally warmer and wetter, as warmer air holds more moisture than colder air.
