Question

as a team of explorers travels southward from the north pole into canada, they encounter a dense forest of pines and other coniferous evergreens. they leave the forest before the winter, which is long and cold. which of these biomes has the team visited? a. temperate grasslands b. northwest coniferous forest c. tropical dry forest d. boreal forest (taiga)

Explanation:

The key - points are a journey south from the North Pole into Canada, a dense forest of pines and coniferous evergreens, and a long, cold winter. Boreal forest (taiga) is characterized by coniferous trees and is located in high - latitude regions with long, cold winters. Temperate grasslands have grasses, not dense coniferous forests. Northwest coniferous forest is more in the Pacific Northwest region and not typically associated with the journey from the North Pole into Canada. Tropical dry forests are in tropical regions with different climates.

Answer:

D. boreal forest (taiga)
