The correct answer is - A. Differences in temperature.

The convection currents are the result of differences in temperature. In practice this can easily be seen with the ocean currents. The warm ocean currents from the Equator move towards the Poles and bring to those areas warmer water which is moving on the surface of the ocean because it is lighter. The cold water from the Poles is driven towards the lower latitudes where it sinks deeper because it is heavier. As the cold water reaches the lower latitudes, it warms up, and continues as warm current, and the process circles continuously.

What is a biome? In a short paragraph of at least three or four sentences, explain how areas can be grouped together into biomes
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

A biome is an enormous ecosystem, spreading over a broad geographic range.

Explanation:

Biomes are classified here in such a form as to get into account their corresponding ranges and similar weather. All climate zones, though, come into one of three essential classifications: tropical and subtropical, temperate, and polar and subpolar.

The first of specific categories is a term covering the area along the equator, spreading north and south by approximately 30 degrees in either direction. In North U.S, this would involve southerly Florida, Texas, and Louisiana. Temperate areas spread from about 30 to 60 degrees on each side of the equator, thus leading in most of America. Ultimately, subpolar and polar regions lie among 60 degrees and the poles, which occur at 90 degrees.
