What are temperate biomes?
Either of two intermediate latitude zones of the earth, the North Temperate Zone, between the Arctic Circle and the Tropic of Cancer, or the South Temperate Zone, between the Antarctic Circle and the Tropic of Capricorn.Read more: temperate-1
How many biomes are there?
There are generally considered to be around 14 major biomes, which include tropical rainforest, temperate deciduous forest, grasslands, deserts, tundra, and more. These biomes are characterized by their distinct climate, vegetation, and animal life.
Why do fewer kinds of organisms live in the desert biomes than the forest biomes?
Desert biomes have harsher environmental conditions, such as high temperatures and limited water availability, which make it difficult for many organisms to survive. Forest biomes, on the other hand, typically have a more stable and favorable environment with abundant water and resources, which can support a greater diversity of organisms.
Why is temperrature less of a limiting factor in water biomes than in land biomes?
Water has a higher heat capacity, meaning it can absorb and retain more heat than land. This helps buffer temperature changes in water biomes, making them more stable. Additionally, water's high heat conductivity allows for heat to be distributed more evenly throughout the water column, reducing temperature extremes.
How many biomes?
There is really no completely right answer to this question. Some people say there are only 5 major types of biomes: aquatic, desert, forest, grassland, and tundra. Others split biomes further. Forests are separated into rainforest, temperate forest, chaparral, and taiga; grasslands are divided into savanna and temperate grasslands; and the aquatic biome is split into freshwater and marine.

they have more
On which part of the globe are colder climates most likely to be found?
The uneven heating of the Earth is one of the reasons why biomes with colder climates are located at the more northern and southern parts of the globe.
What are the six major land biomes?
Deserts, Tropical Forest, Coniferous Forest, Deciduous Forest, the Tundra, and the Grasslands. There are more biomes, but these are the main ones.
