Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The biome represents major communities of animals that have the same or very similar characteristics, both physical and behavioral, and they are distributed over a wider area which is defined and unique by its flora and climate. There are numerous biomes around the world, and we can say that there are two simple rules about their location, one of them being the latitude, and the other being the distance or closeness to the sea. There are ten major biomes in the world. The poles are dominated by the ice sheet and polar desert biome. The higher latitudes are dominated by the tundra and the taiga biomes. In the mid-latitudes dominate the mixed and deciduous forests, steppe, and Mediterranean biomes. The lower latitudes are dominated by the tropical forest, savanna, and desert biomes. The only biome that doesn't ''obey'' to the latitude and distance or closeness to sea rules is the montane biome, which occupies the highest mountains in the world.
