Question

Which two biomes, out of the choices provided in the answers, are the most widely distributed (are found the highest number of different continents)? a. Temperate evergreen forest and desert. b. Desert and temperate grasslands. c. Temperate deciduous forest and arctic tundra. d. Boreal forests and polar ice.

Answer 1

The temperate deciduous forest and arctic tundra are the most widely distributed biomes across different continents.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two biomes that are the most widely distributed across different continents are temperate deciduous forest and arctic tundra.

Temperate deciduous forests are found in North America, Europe, and Asia, covering large areas and experiencing distinct seasons. Arctic tundra can be found in the northernmost regions of North America, Europe, and Asia, with extreme cold temperatures and low precipitation.

Answer 2

Deserts and temperate grasslands are the most widely distributed biomes on different continents, as deserts are present on all continents except Europe and temperate grasslands are found across multiple large regions globally.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most widely distributed biomes on different continents, based on the choices provided, are b. Desert and temperate grasslands. Deserts are found on every continent except Europe and cover about one fifth of the Earth's surface, occurring where rainfall is scarce. Temperate grasslands are prevalent in several regions, including the midwestern United States, parts of Asia, and South America. These biomes are characterized by their respective climates and ecosystems; deserts with their sparse rainfall and extreme temperatures, and temperate grasslands with their abundant grasses and seasonal climate.
