Q87 (CGS/2026) Geography › World Physical Geography

Low temperature and low precipitation produce which type of biome or forests?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The Tundra biome is characterized by extremely low temperatures and low precipitation. Often referred to as a "cold desert," the Tundra receives very little annual rainfall (usually less than 25 cm) because the cold air cannot hold much moisture. The extremely short growing season and the presence of permafrost (permanently frozen subsoil) prevent the growth of large trees, limiting vegetation to mosses, lichens, and small shrubs.

  • Tropical forests require high temperatures and high precipitation throughout the year.
  • Savannas are characterized by high temperatures and seasonal rainfall.
  • Thorn scrubs occur in hot, arid, or semi-arid regions with low precipitation but high temperatures.
