Climate determines where major biomes are found. Using Figure 3.4, above, determine how many major terrestrial biomes occur on Earth Question 6. (Part 1) What is the range in average annual temperature and precipitation where tropical biomes occur? (Part 2) Which climate variable, temperature or precipitation, seems to be most important for separating tropical rainforest from tropical seasonal forests/savanna?

Explanation / Answer

Pueblo, CO- Temperate grassland

Albuquerque, NM: Temperate shrubland

Las Cruces, NM: Desert

From the figure, we can see that there are 9 major terrestrial biomes on earth.

Tropical biomes occur in the temperature range of 21-30o celsius (70-85oC) and precipitation of 200-2000 mm per year.

Mainly, precipitation is important for separating tropical rainforest form tropical seasonal forests. Unlike tropical rainforest, the tropical seasonal forest has more or less densely growing trees which lose their leaves during the dry season.
