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.

mixas84 [53]
The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.
