Question
Biomes support different kinds of vegetation partly because of how much precipitation they receive. In general, biomes with denser vegetation require more rain than more sparsely vegetated biomes do, and biomes that support trees and other woody vegetation require more rain than nonwoody biomes do The adjacent map shows the mean annual precipitation in California. On the map, red represents the driest parts of the state, with oranges, yellows, and then greens representing progressively wetter areas The map also marks three locations: A, B, and C. Based on the precipitation required to maintain the vegetation found in each of the three following biomes, determine which biome is most likely found at each location Avg. annual precip Cinches) 140.1 1800 120.1-140 0 100.1120.0 70.1.80.0 Location Biome Temperate forest Temperate grassland Desert 00.1-700 60.1 60.0 40,1-50.0 35.1-40.0 30.1-35.0 25.1-30.0 20.1-26.0 15.1-20.0 5.1 10.0 © National Atlas of the United StatesExplanation / Answer
Given the information,
