galápagos islands: a case study
review the photograph.
what type of biome on the galápagos islands does the photograph show?

Explanation:

The image shows drought-adapted vegetation (a large prickly pear cactus), rocky, arid-looking soil with orange crusts, and coastal terrain, all hallmarks of a hot, dry biome with low precipitation, typical of parts of the Galápagos.

Answer:

This photograph shows a desert (or arid coastal desert) biome (specifically the Galápagos arid zone biome, characterized by drought-tolerant succulents, rocky/barren soil, and proximity to coastal waters with low rainfall).
