EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -At tropical and subtropical latitudes, where average temperatures range between 200C and 300C, vegetation ranges from rainforest, which is wet throughout the year and generally receives more than 250 cm of rain annually, to desert, which generally receives less than 50 cm of rain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Desert Biomes Biomes are regions of similar climate and dominant plant types. Deserts generally occur in a band around the world between 15–30° N and S latitude (Figure 4). They cover between 26–35% of the land surface of the Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Grasslands get 25-75 cm of rain yearly. Dry seasons stop trees from growing, so grasses prevail. Grasslands can be tropical (warm and humid) or temperate (cold winters), so the yearly temperature range can be-20℃ to 30℃. Grasslands support grasses and grass-like plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deserts get about 250 millimeters (10 inches) of rain per year-the least amount of rain of all of the biomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Rainforests receive the most rain of all of the biomes in a year! A typical year sees 2, 000 to 10, 000 millimeters (79 to 394 inches) of rain per year.
