Answer:

(a) Desert- In a desert environment, the temperature is relatively very high during daytime due to high absorption of sunlight and at night it again cools down. There is little or no precipitation here. This region includes the equatorial and some parts of the tropical region.

(b) Arctic tundra- This region lies in the higher latitudinal areas extending from the arctic to the extreme poles. The temperature here is extremely cold and precipitation is low. The plants and trees here are short in height.

(c) Temperate grassland- These are the mid-latitude areas covering the extensive grasslands of both the northern and the southern hemisphere. The temperature and precipitation level here are both moderate.
