Answer:

Higher latitudes receive less sunlight producing cold biomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regions with similar climates and plant types are called biomes.

Terrestrial regions may be classified as desert biomes, rainforest biomes, grassland biomes, temperature deciduous forest biomes, tundra biomes, northern coniferous forest biomes, savanna biomes, and mediterranean biomes.

Because these biomes are mostly defined in terms of dominant vegetation or plant species, they are determined by rainfall and temperature. In general, higher latitude biomes are further away from the equator, less sunlight and heat- this results in drier climates with less rainfall and lower, cooler, temperatures.
