Practice AP Environmental Science questions on identifying terrestrial biomes from climate patterns and describing their global distribution.
Respond to parts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J.
Terrestrial biomes are primarily determined by temperature and precipitation patterns.
Describe one difference between the climate of a temperate seasonal forest and that of a
savanna.
G Describe one difference between the climate of a temperate seasonal forest and that of a
savanna.
Examples of acceptable responses may include the following:
- Temperate seasonal forests have a cooler climate than a savanna.
- Temperate seasonal forests have a stronger/colder winter than a savanna.
- Temperate seasonal forests have four distinct seasons while savannas do not.
- Temperate seasonal forests receive more annual precipitation than savannas.
- Temperate forests receive precipitation throughout the year while savannas have a
rainy season/dry season.
