Chapter 51.4, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The terrestrial biomes that receive maximum rainfall.
Introduction:
Biomes are large geographical areas that stretch across continents and share a common climate. The amount of rainfall and temperature remains the same throughout the biome, annually. Thus, the kind of climate also helps in shaping the vegetation and fauna of a particular biome.
