Identify the biomes labeled A, B, and C in the maps. Describe the general locations and climate in each biome.

What will be an ideal response?


A. Deserts: Deserts are usually found about 30° at latitudes in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They are characterized by hot days and cold nights with very little rain and moisture.
B. Tropical rain forests: Tropical rain forests are found in parts of Central and South America, Africa, and the Indo-Malayan region near the equator. The weather is always warm and rainfall is plentiful.
C. Savannas: The largest savannas are in central and southern Africa, South America, and Australia. Savannas occur in regions where a relatively cool dry season is followed by a hot, rainy season.
