Climate Regions, Biomes and Tropical Climates By: Ashley Pham and Mariana Bengochea

Climate Regions Four Climate Zones: tropical, dry, mid latitude, and high latitude. Elaborate with different biomes. Climate similarities results in similar biome.

Biomes Affected by two factors: climate and terrain. Climate: influenced by precipitation and temperature. Terrain: influenced by distribution of land masses, ocean basins, topography of continents.

Tropical Climates Wet or dry climates Found in or near low latitudes (the Tropics) Found in South America, the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa
