Question

question 9
worksheet question 2 a: the sahara desert and parts of southeast asia are at similar latitudes. how do rainfall and temperature patterns differ between the biomes? select all that apply.
the sahara desert is much warmer than se asia.
the sahara desert and se asia receive similar amounts of precipitation.
both regions experience relatively warm temperatures.
se asia receives much more rainfall than the sahara desert.
question 10
worksheet question 1 biodiversity & latitude. which of the following biomes gets the coldest (on average)?
temperate deciduous forest
savanna
tropical rain forest
boreal forest

Explanation:

For Question 9: Both regions are near the tropics, so they have relatively warm temperatures. The Sahara is a desert with extremely low rainfall, while Southeast Asia has a tropical climate with heavy monsoon rainfall, so it gets far more precipitation. The Sahara is not consistently much warmer (Southeast Asia has hot, humid conditions with similar peak temps, and some desert areas have cool nights).

For Question 10: Boreal forests (taiga) are found in high-latitude, subarctic regions, with long, very cold winters, making them the coldest on average compared to the other warmer temperate/tropical biomes.

Answer:

Question 9:

• Both regions experience relatively warm temperatures.
• SE Asia receives much more rainfall than the Sahara Desert.

Question 10:

• boreal forest
