Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Which biome has low precipition AND temperature?

    • A.

      Desert

    • B.

      Tundra

    • C.

      Tropical Rain Forest

    • D.

      Coniferous Forest

    Correct Answer
    B. Tundra
    Explanation
    The tundra biome has both low precipitation and low temperatures. This biome is characterized by extremely cold and dry conditions, with very little rainfall throughout the year. The low temperatures and limited precipitation make it difficult for plants to grow, resulting in a barren landscape dominated by mosses, lichens, and small shrubs. The tundra biome is typically found in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, where the cold and dry climate prevents the growth of trees and supports only hardy vegetation.

    Which biome has low precip and high temp?

    • A.

      Desert

    • B.

      Tundra

    • C.

      Tropical Rain Forest

    • D.

      Coniferous Forest

    Correct Answer
    A. Desert
    Explanation
    The correct answer is desert because deserts typically have low precipitation and high temperatures. These regions receive very little rainfall, often less than 10 inches per year, and experience high temperatures during the day due to the lack of cloud cover and vegetation to provide shade. The combination of low precipitation and high temperatures creates a harsh and arid environment, characterized by sandy or rocky landscapes and sparse vegetation.

    Which biome has plants adapted to lots of rain?

    • A.

      Tundra

    • B.

      Desert

    • C.

      Tropical rain forest

    • D.

      Coniferous forest

    Correct Answer
    C. Tropical rain forest
    Explanation
    The tropical rain forest is the correct answer because it is a biome that receives a high amount of rainfall throughout the year. The plants in this biome have adapted to this wet environment by having broad leaves to capture sunlight and a dense canopy to prevent excess water from reaching the forest floor. The abundance of rain allows for a diverse range of plant species to thrive in this biome.

    Which biome has high precip and high temp?

    • A.

      Tundra

    • B.

      Desert

    • C.

      Tropical rain forest

    • D.

      Coniferous forest

    Correct Answer
    C. Tropical rain forest
    Explanation
    Tropical rain forests have high precipitation and high temperatures. These biomes are characterized by heavy rainfall throughout the year, often exceeding 100 inches annually. The combination of abundant rainfall and warm temperatures creates a highly humid and lush environment, supporting a diverse range of plant and animal species. The high levels of precipitation and warmth contribute to the growth of dense vegetation and the rapid decomposition of organic matter, resulting in nutrient-rich soils.

  • 5. 

    Which biome has polar bears?

    • A.

      Tundra

    • B.

      Desert

    • C.

      Tropical rain forest

    • D.

      Coniferous forest

    Correct Answer
    A. Tundra
    Explanation
    Polar bears are found in the tundra biome. The tundra is a cold and treeless biome characterized by low temperatures, short growing seasons, and a layer of permafrost. It is home to various species adapted to survive in extreme cold, including polar bears. These bears are well-suited for the tundra environment, with their thick fur and layer of blubber that helps them withstand the freezing temperatures. They rely on the tundra's unique ecosystem, which includes ice, snow, and marine mammals, for hunting and survival.
