Detailed explanation-3: -Temperate Grassland This covers extensive areas in the interior of continents where there is enough moisture to support forest or woodland. 3. FORESTS-are regions where trees grow as a result of inadequate temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tropical rainforest biome gets the highest precipitation or rainfall annually. Most regions get at least 200 cm to about 430 cm rain annually. Deserts and tundra get the least amount of precipitation.
