20. Biomes – large regions characterized by specific type of climate and certain types of plant and animal communities

21. Hadley cell model Shows the movement of water vapor around the globe

22. Local effect - Mountains

23. Rain Shadow Effect

24. Thermocline in ponds and lakes

25. Climate Data
Although there are varying classification methods to describe biomes, all classification models rely on climatic data to help distinguish one biome from another. The ongoing collection of data allows scientists to study the changes that occur on Earth’s climates.
