Question

Compare the biomes of New York City and Seattle. Whey are their biomes different?

Answer 1

Answer:

New York City: temperate deciduous forest

Seattle: temperate wet forest

Explanation:

New York City is characterized by a Temperate Deciduous Forest biome. This indicates that its climate is not stable but, instead, faces constant changes. The seasons are clear and marked, e.g. summer is warmer and trees begin to lose their leaves during fall (as it is supposed to be). New York's biome is also characterized by the presence of rain throughout the year. Plants such as conifers and mosses are predominant and wildlife species like red foxes, squirrels, and owls inhabit in this city / biome.

Seattle, on the other hand, is characterized by a Temperate Wet Forest biome, that is, warm and dry-summer subtropical climate. The seasons are marked but not as predominantly as in New York. Seattle is also characterized by more humid conditions in contrast to New York. Moreover, summers tend to be drier and warmer, making it more vulnerable to bushfires. Plants such as the western red cedar and the ponderosa pine are predominant and wildlife species like deers, coyotes, and bears inhabit in this region.
