Guide Questions:
1. What biomes are within the tropic of cancer? How about within the tropic of Capricorn?
Within the Tropic of Cancer, the biomes include tropical rainforests, deserts, and
savannahs. In contrast, within the Tropic of Capricorn, the biomes include tropical
rainforests, deserts, and grasslands.
2. What latitudinal range the savannah lies? How about the taiga? Tropical rainforest?
The savannah lies within the latitudinal range of 15 to 30 degrees north and south of the
equator. The taiga lies within the latitudinal range of 50 to 60 degrees north. The tropical
rainforest lies within the latitudinal range of 10 degrees north and south of the equator.
3. Why different biomes have different climatic conditions?
Biomes have different climatic conditions due to variations in factors such as temperature,
precipitation, sunlight, and soil composition, influenced by latitude, altitude, proximity to
water bodies, ocean currents, and prevailing wind patterns.
