TEMPERATURE RANGE AND AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION OF DIFFERENT BIOMES

1. TROPICAL RAINFOREST (Andagoya, Columbia)

The temperature range of the tropical rainforest remains remarkably constant throughout
the year, typically hovering around 27°C, with a slight increase to 28°C in the month of March.
This remarkable stability in temperature is primarily due to the rainforest's proximity to the equator,
where it receives nearly consistent sunlight and heat distribution throughout the year.

The amount of precipitation in the tropical rainforest remains consistently high throughout
the year, with only a notable change occurring during the months of April to June, which mark the
rainy season. During this period, the rainforest experiences a substantial increase in rainfall. This
distinct pattern is primarily driven by the rainforest's proximity to the equator, where it is exposed
to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), a region of the Earth where the trade winds from
the Northern and Southern Hemispheres converge.
 2. DESERT (Berbera, Somalia)

Desert temperatures typically range from 25°C to 37°C year-round, with a noticeable spike
from May to September. This consistency is due to the desert's arid landscape and minimal cloud
cover, resulting in intense daytime sunlight and sustained high temperatures. During the summer
months, the sun is directly overhead, intensifying solar radiation and heat, worsened by the lack
of rainfall for cooling through evaporation.

The amount of precipitation in the desert varies significantly from month to month, with
April typically experiencing the highest levels. However, when compared to other biomes, deserts
consistently receive the lowest amount of precipitation throughout the year. This unique
precipitation pattern can be attributed to the desert's arid nature and distinct climatic factors.
 3. GRASSLAND (Alice Springs, Australia)

Grasslands typically maintain a consistent temperature range between 12°C and 28°C
throughout the year, but they experience a notable drop in temperature during June and July,
leading to a colder climate during these months. This temperature variation in grasslands is
influenced by factors like their geographical location, latitude, and seasonal shifts. The colder
climate in midsummer can be attributed to these seasonal changes, particularly in higher latitude
grasslands, where shifts in weather patterns bring cooler temperatures and the potential for frost.

Grasslands exhibit a distinct precipitation pattern, with lower rainfall during April, July,
August, and September due to transitional seasons and increased evaporation in the summer
months. Conversely, they experience the highest precipitation levels in January and December,
aligning with winter weather systems and colder temperatures.
 4. DECIDUOUS FOREST (Winnipeg, Canada)

The Deciduous Forest experiences a temperature range between -5°C and 20°C
throughout the year, with notably warmer conditions from June to August. This temperature
pattern reflects the forest's temperate climate and the influence of seasonal changes. This
temperature range is a direct result of the forest's location in temperate regions and the cyclical
nature of its seasonal shifts.

The Deciduous Forest experiences relatively high levels of precipitation from May to
September, in contrast to the rest of the year, with the lowest rainfall occurring in February. This
precipitation pattern is influenced by the forest's temperate climate and seasonal variations.
During the spring and summer months (May to September), the forest receives more rainfall,
which is essential for the growth of deciduous trees and the vibrant foliage that defines these
ecosystems. In contrast, February typically sees lower precipitation levels due to colder
temperatures, reduced moisture in the atmosphere, and the dormancy of many plant species
during the winter season.
 5. TUNDRA (Barrow, Alaska, USA)

The temperature range in the Tundra biome remains consistently cold, typically spanning
from -28°C to 4°C throughout the entire year. This extreme cold makes the Tundra the coldest
biome among all the different ecosystems. The reason for this frigid temperature range is primarily
due to the Tundra's geographical location, which is typically found at high latitudes near the polar
regions. Its proximity to the poles means that it receives limited sunlight and warmth, resulting in
perpetually low temperatures.

Precipitation in the Tundra biome is generally characterized by its relative scarcity.

However, there is an increase in precipitation during the months of July to October, with amounts
ranging from 12 mm to 25 mm. This precipitation pattern is influenced by the Tundra's unique
climate and seasonal variations. The summer months of July to October experience a slightly
milder climate compared to the harsh winter, allowing for increased moisture in the form of rain.
During the rest of the year, the Tundra's cold temperatures often result in minimal precipitation,
as moisture in the atmosphere is limited.
 6. TAIGA (Alberta, Canada)

The temperature range in the Taiga biome typically spans from -2°C to 17°C throughout
the year, with the warmest climate occurring in the months of May through August. This
temperature pattern reflects the Taiga's location in temperate and subarctic regions, where it
experiences distinct seasonal changes. During the warmer months of spring and summer,
temperatures rise, reaching their peak from May to August. In contrast, the colder temperatures
during the rest of the year, particularly in winter, are due to the Taiga's high latitude and its
exposure to frigid polar air masses.

The Taiga biome experiences relatively high levels of precipitation, with the highest
amount occurring in the month of June. This precipitation pattern is influenced by several factors,
including its northern location and the seasonal changes typical of temperate regions. June marks
the peak of the Taiga's short growing season, when temperatures are relatively warmer, allowing
for increased moisture in the form of rain.
