AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The three major forest biomes are temperate forests, tropical forests, and boreal forests (also known as the taiga). These forest types occur at different latitudes, and therefore experience different climatic conditions. Tropical forests are warm, humid, and found close to the equator.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical Forest Biomes Tropical forests are found in areas centered on the equator (Figure 4).

Detailed explanation-3: -Because of the amount of rainfall and sunshine received near the equator, tropical rainforests can be found there. The majority of tropical rainforests are found between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -tropical rainforest, also spelled tropical rain forest, luxuriant forest found in wet tropical uplands and lowlands around the Equator.
