Answer 1

Answer 2

The factor of difference in the latitude explains why tundra biome is the main cold year-round but taiga biome has alternating cold and warm seasons.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The Taiga biome completely lies within the temperate zone, whereas, the Tundra biome is the closest to the polar zone which is characterized by year-round winter.

• The Taiga biome, owing to its position, receives slanting sun for almost half of the year.

• The Tundra biome is influenced by the absence of direct insolation and the presence of permafrost. This is all due to the difference in latitudes of the two biomes.
