Detailed explanation-1: -Moving from the equator to the North pole, the biomes found are tropical rain forests, temperate grasslands/cold desserts, boreal ( taiga )and Artic (tundra). Thus, the correct answer is option A.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: Biomes are determined primarily by temperature and precipitation. Generally speaking, biomes at higher latitudes (further away from the equator) are cooler and drier. Closer to the equator, biomes are generally warmer and wetter, as warmer air holds more moisture than colder air.
Detailed explanation-3: -Moving from the poles to the equator, you will find (in order) Arctic, boreal, temperate, subtropical, and tropical biomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Temperature: Tropical rainforests are found near the equator, between the Tropic of Cancer (23°27’N) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23°27’S). The equator receives direct sunlight. This steady flow of radiation produces consistently high temperatures throughout the year.
Detailed explanation-5: -tropical rainforest, also spelled tropical rain forest, luxuriant forest found in wet tropical uplands and lowlands around the Equator.
