What do the lines of latitudes represent when talking about biomes.
They split up the different types of biomes
Why is the tundra biome in the north and south area of the world
Because it is colder up there because the sun takes longer to reach the area up there so it loses heat on the way there.
Why are tropical rainforest found where they are?
Because it is very warm at the equator because the sun reaches that part first so it has the most heat. It rains so much because the plants release water to try and keep cool. Then this water evaporates and then rains.
