Question

A student examines the climatograph shows below and concludes that the diagram represents a region in a tropical rainforest biome. Discuss the error in the student's reasoning using the given data. In your answer, identify the biome likely represented by the cimatograph.

Answer 1

The student's conclusion was incorrect because the tropical rainforest biome has an average of 200-400 centimeters or 80-100 inches of rain a year. The correct biome based on the climatograph is temperate grassland because, on average per year, this biome has 25-75 centimeters of precipitation each year. Its temperature is ranging from 0-25 degrees Celcius.
