Climate Climate is defined by 2 non-living factors Annual average precipitation (rainfall) Annual average temperature Climate plays a major role in determining world biomes Biomes can be represented on a graph Rainfall on the X-axis Temperature on Y-axis This graph is called a Whittaker graph

Whittaker Graph Biomes of the World Annual Precipitation (inches) Average Temperature 40 80 120 160 Biomes of the World -10°C (14°F) 0°C (32°F) 10°C (50°F) 20°C (68°F) tropical temperate  drier wetter   colder hotter  30°C (86°F) Whittaker Graph savannah tropical dry forest rainforest desert rainforest temperate deciduous forest grasslands taiga tundra
