Terrestrial Biomes

60 degrees latitude receives sunlight that is

• more direct & intense than 0 degrees
• less direct & intense than 0 degrees
• the same as 30 degrees in intensity
• more direct & intense than 30 degrees

The closer a biome is to the equator, the more we would expect it to be

• warmer & wetter
• warmer & drier
• cooler & wetter
• cooler & drier

The tropical rain forest & tropical savanna biomes are similar in ___________, but ________________________________.

• temperature / the savannah doesn't receive enough rainfall to be a forest
• precipitation / the rain forest is hotter
• precipitation / the savanna is cooler
• temperature / the rain forest doesn't receive enough sunlight to be a savanna

The tundra biome & the desert biome are both very dry, but

• the desert is always hot
• the desert has a wider temperature range
• the tundra has a wider temperature range
• they are also similar in temperature

The tropical savanna & temperate grassland are both types of grasslands. What differentiates them is the fact that

• the savanna is hotter
• the savanna is cooler
• the grassland is hotter
• the grassland receives much more precipitation

Terrestrial biomes are defined mainly by their

• climate & plants
• climate & animals
• animals & plants
• climate only

The tundra biome occurs near the poles, while the alpine tundra

• occurs near the equator
• occurs near 30 degrees latitude
• occurs on mountain tops and many latitudes
• occurs at sea level

The biome pictured is

• tropical savanna
• tropical rain forest
• temperate rain forest
• temperate deciduous forest

The area roughly between 23 degrees North & 23 degrees South is known as the 

• tropical zone
• temperate zone
• polar zone
