Question

Summers that are hot, humid, and rainy, winters that are below freezing with a lot of snow, 50-100 frost free days/year, and precipitation ranges from 12-33 inches/year are all abiotic characteristics of the _______ biome.
a. chaparral
b. tundra
c. arctic
d. taiga

Answer 1

It can't be tundra as it's too cold- the temperature are 12 Degree at most. It can't be the arctic region even as it's even colder!

Chaparral is not really a biome, it's too small for that.

So it must be taiga, and it is! Taiga has temperatures raging from -30 to +30!

Answer 2

The correct option is D.

The Taiga biome, which is also known as the coniferous forest has been described as the largest terrestrial biome because it extends across some continents of the world. The biome typically has short summers, which can be very wet and winters, which are long and can be very cold. The majority of plants in taiga biome are conifers and these plants are described as ever green because they remain green all year round.
