AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Savannas are located north and south of tropical forest biomes and are characterized by lower yearly rainfall and longer dry seasons.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tropical grasslands, called savannas show two extremes of seasonal variation, i.e., there is a rainy season in the summer with around 40 to 65 centimeters of rain and a dry season in the winter when only a couple of inches of rain may fall.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tropical rainforest biome has four main characteristics: very high annual rainfall, high average temperatures, nutrient-poor soil, and high levels of biodiversity (species richness). Rainfall: The word “rainforest” implies that these are the some of the world’s wettest ecosystems.
