These are temperate‚ where winters are cold and summers are mild; polar where its very cold and dry and all year long; arid‚ here its stays dry and hot; tropical‚ where it stays hot and wet all of the year; Mediterranean‚ where the winters are mild and the summers hot and dry; mountainous‚ where it stays very cold throughout the year.

Temperate forest is a mild weather area that gets Temperatures from -30 degrees C to 30 degrees C with an average precipitation of 75 to 150 cm spread out over the year with at least two to three spices of trees per square mile. Boreal forest is Japans second biome and is a lot smaller only consisting of it’s top most island Boreal forest unlike temperate forest

Though both are low pressure systems‚ their weather and heat transfer processes are very different. Their diversion can be viewed under The equatorial zones are distinguished by a hot and wet climate all year round‚ yet the temperate zones are typified by less stable areas.

There are eight major terrestrial biomes; tropical forest‚ desert‚ savanna‚ chaparral‚ temperate grassland‚ coniferous forest‚ temperate broadleaf forest‚ and tundra. The tropical forest can be separated into two categories; tropical rainforest and tropical dry forest. Both‚ tropical rainforest and tropical dry forest are found near the equator.

TERRESTRIAL BIOME Introduction Many places on Earth share similar climatic conditions despite being found in geographically different areas. As a result of natural selection‚ comparable ecosystems have developed in these separated areas. Scientists call these major ecosystem types biomes. The geographical distribution (and productivity) of the various biomes is controlled primarily by the climatic variables precipitation and temperature. The maps in Figures 1 and 2 describe the geographical locations
