Question

match the terrestrial biome with its description. definition: area with low rainfall, whose annual rate of evaporation exceeds its annual rate of precipitation; can support cacti and some grasses and animal species such as snakes and lizards. biome characterized by fertile soils with a thick cover of grasses. treeless biome with permanently frozen soil under the surface and average yearly precipitation of 15 - 25 cm. biome characterized by grasses and scattered trees, and herd animals such as zebras and antelopes. biome: select choice, tropical savanna, tundra, woodland, desert, grassland

Explanation:

1. The description "area with low rainfall, whose annual rate of evaporation exceeds its annual rate of precipitation, can support cacti and some grasses and animal species such as snakes and lizards" matches the desert biome as deserts are characterized by low - precipitation and high - evaporation.
2. The description "biome characterized by fertile soils with a thick cover of grasses" matches the grassland biome as grasslands have rich soil and are dominated by grasses.
3. The description "biome characterized by grasses and scattered trees, and herd animals such as zebras and antelopes" matches the tropical savanna biome as tropical savannas have grasses and scattered trees and are home to large herds of grazing animals.
4. The description "treeless biome with permanently frozen soil under the surface and average yearly precipitation of 15 - 25 cm" matches the tundra biome as tundras are treeless and have permafrost with low precipitation.

Answer:

1. Desert
2. Grassland
3. Tropical savanna
4. Tundra
