Taiga is a Russian word that refers to an ecosystem characterized by snow and coniferous trees.
In English it is known as Boreal Forest or Snow Forest.
A large part of the Northern Hemisphere is made up of Taiga. Northern Russia, parts of Mongolia, Scottish Highlands, Northern Japan and Northern Canadian Provinces are all covered in Snow Forests.
The climate in these areas are generally cold and dry where a unique habitats has evolved comprising of Bears, Moose, Red Fox, Polar Bears etc.
Answer: Tropical rainforests are very hot and wet places. They have over 2,000 mm of rainfall a year. The climate is very consistent and there are no seasons. There is a very thin layer of fertile soil at the surface where leaves decompose and plants have adapted to this by growing roots really close to the surface.

The ranking of common igneous silicate minerals based on the temperature at which crystallization occurs is called Bowen’s reaction series.
<u>
Explanation:
</u>
In Bowen’s reaction series the minerals with high crystallization temperature are present at the top layer. This means these minerals are the first to crystallize from the magma and they are mostly unstable. The Bowen's reaction series is represented in the Y shape. The left branch of this Y has minerals containing iron and magnesium. They are called as Ferromagnesium minerals.
The right branch of the Y contains plagioclase feldspars minerals. Temperature gradually decreases down along the Bowen’s reaction series from
to
. At certain low temperature, the two branches combine forming minerals similar to felsic rocks such as orthoclase feldspar, quartz and muscovite mica.
