Well, latitude can affect it. For example, if you live in lower lattitudes, you are going to have cold climates. WItch means that you will have Biomes like Tundra, Glacier, ECT. But if you live in the middle of the earth, Than you will have hot climates, scence you are located closer to the equator. therfor, you will have things like tropical rainforest, desert ECT. Right now, in class i am having a lesson about it. My question is, What OTHER than latitude affects Biome distribution?
Hope this helps.

∙ 9y agoThe distribution of biomes are determined by many contributing factors. The main factor being global climatic zones. An area's climate will determine what sort of biome can be sustained in that area. For example Tundra is not going to be sustained in an area of high annual temperatures.
Global climate zones determine the latitudinal patterns of biomes, other determining factors being; sun angle, heat import, global annual rainfall and the angle of the earth's rotation. Regional climates which determine the distribution of biomes are also affected by other forms of geography such as rain shadows and cold or warm ocean currents.
