Which of the following accounts for the formation of major biomes?
A
Annual variations in intensity of temperature
B
Annual variations in intensity and duration of temperature
C
Annual variation in precipitation
D
b and c
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Assertion :Distinct seasons and annual variation in precipitation leads to formation of major biomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The revolution of our planet around the Sun and the tilt of axis cause annual variations in the intensity and duration of temperature, resulting in distinct seasons. These variations together with annual variation in precipitation account for the formation of major biomes such as desert, rain forest and tundra.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: The primary factor which determines a biome is the climate. Temperature and precipitation essentially determines what kind of growing season or soil quality the terrain may have, which therefore affects the growth of plants living there.

Detailed explanation-4: -Different biomes are formed due to annual variations in over the earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solution: The variations in temperature and annual variation in precipitation (remember precipitation includes both rain and snow) account for the formation of major biomes such as desert, rain forest and tundra.
