Major Biomes of the World
Zones of different biomes occur from the equator to the arctic and to the antarctic due to differences in climate. In the equatorial and tropical areas where temperature and rainfall are high all year round, tropical forests occur while in the cold arctic regions, treeless plains called tundra are found.
Climates change with distance from the equator and also with height above sea level, as such zones of different biomes occur from the equator to the poles and on a mountain side.
Examples of Major Biomes of the World
1. Tropical rain forests: These consist of dense forests with many types of trees, epiphytes and climbers. Rainfall is abundant throughout the year and an average temperature of 27ºc is recorded throughout the year.
