Answer: There are eight types of terrestrial biomes - temperate grasslands, temperate forests, tropical rainforests, subtropical rainforests, savannas, subtropical deserts, chaparral, boreal forests and arctic tundra.

Explanation: A terrestrial biome can be defined as an area of land that have similar communities of plants and animals and also similar climate.

Temperate grasslands: The climate temperature varies from semi-arid to semi-humid. Vegetation consist of grass and/or shrubs. Example includes  Eurasian steppes, north american prairies.

Temperate forests: It is second largest biome , which covers 25% of the world's forest area. Its is known for its seasons and leaf-shedding trees. For example the Valdivian and magellanic temperate forests.

Tropical rainforests: It occurs in the areas of tropical climate. There is no dry season. Average precipitation of the year is at least of 60 mm. For example Daintree rainforests, Congo rainforests.

Subtropical rainforests: It has the the features of temperate forests and tropical forests.

Savannas: It is a mixed woodland grassland ecosystem. Tress are widely spaced so that canopy does not close. For example Serengeti plains of Tanzania.

Subtropical desert: High temperature, warm soils, and very low precipitation are its important features. Plants such as shrubs and succulents can be found there. Mojave desert, Sonoran are the examples.

Chaparral: It is a heathland plant community. Found mainly in US state of California and in northern portion of the Baja California peninsula. For example Santa ynez mountains, near Santa Barbara, California.

Boreal forests: It is also known as Taiga. It has coniferous forests consisting mainly of spruces, larches and pines. It is world's largest forest. For example Jack London Lake in Russia.

Arctic tundra: It is a vast, cold, and treeless area of low, swampy plains in the north around Arctic ocean. There are three regions and associated type of tundra that are Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine.

Why does the reporter have a tube up his nose? why does the reporter have a tube up his nose? to replace the salts and other ion
Helga [31]
The correct answer is to accurately measure core temperature.
The tube seen entering the reporter's nose is a thermistor which is used to measure the core temperature of the body with very high levels of accuracy. The tube reaches the esophagus, which is one of the most preferred locations for measuring the core temperature.
The core body temperature is the operating temperature of the human body and it refers to the temperature of the deeper structures of the body instead of the peripheral tissues. 
The esophagus is close to the left ventricle of the heart, it has a deep body location and a quick response to any changes in the body temperature.
