Question

Suppose that your friend is moving far away and describing his new location. He mentions that the area gets a lot of precipitation for most of the year, except for the summer, which is cool and dry. He also notes that his house is surrounded by flowering trees and conifers and that he saw at least three camouflaged animals more quickly than his sister could. Which biome will his new home be part of?

Answer 1

Choices:

A. Northwestern coniferous forest

B. Temperate grassland

C. Tropical dry forest

D. Desert

Your best answer is Northwestern coniferous forest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Its definitely not the desert because there is lots of precipitation. Its most likely not the dry forest due to the fact that the climate alternates between dry and rainy seasons. It wouldn't be the grass land because there are no conifers.

Answer 2

Due to the fact that there are high levels of precipitation but with cool, dry summers it is likely that my friend has moved to a temperate forest biome. The inclusion of flowering trees and conifers serves to back this up, and the camouflaged animals imply he could have moved to a rainforest.
