Detailed explanation-1: -Tropical forests are warm, humid, and found close to the equator. Temperate forests are found at higher latitudes and experience all four seasons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plants and animals have developed specific adaptations that allow them to survive the extreme climate of the tundra. These adaptations include thick fur, dense hair, retention of dead leaves, and feathered feet.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tundra plants are short, robust plants that often grow together in groups to resist cold temperatures and exploit the favourable microclimate near the ground. Furthermore, the leaves of tundra plants are small and leathery which helps lock in moisture.
Detailed explanation-4: -Animals in deciduous forests have to adapt to changing seasons. They must be able to cope with cold winters and hot summers. Some animals hibernate or migrate during the winter to escape the cold. Others grow thick fur and/or layers of fat to help make it through the winter months.
