AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Temperate deciduous forests lie in the mid-latitude areas of the Earth, between the Arctic poles and the tropics. These biomes are exposed to warm and cold air masses, causing them to have four seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temperate biomes include forests, grasslands, and chaparral. Temperate deciduous forests are found in areas with continental temperate climates and temperate rainforests are found in areas with coastal temperate climates. Temperate grasslands are temperate biomes that consist mainly of grasses.

Detailed explanation-3: -The temperate deciduous forest is a biome that is always changing. It has four distinct seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall. Winters are cold and summers are warm. Temperate deciduous forests get between 30 and 60 inches of precipitation a year. Precipitation in this biome happens year round.

Detailed explanation-4: -Savannas: This large grassland biome is home to some of the fastest animals on the planet. Taigas: Also called boreal forests or coniferous forests, this biome is populated by dense evergreen trees. Temperate grasslands: These open grasslands are located in colder climate regions than savannas.

Detailed explanation-5: -Temperate forests occur in eastern North America, northeastern Asia, and western and central Europe. Well-defined seasons with a distinct winter characterize this forest biome. Moderate climate and a growing season of 140-200 days during 4-6 frost-free months distinguish temperate forests.
