Question
what two abiotic factors determine a biome? latitude and air pressure plant and animals soil and pollution temperature and precipitation
A biome is a large - scale ecosystem. Abiotic factors are non - living components. Temperature affects the types of organisms that can survive (e.g., cold - adapted vs. warm - adapted species). Precipitation (amount of rainfall or snowfall) determines water availability for plants and animals. For example, in a desert biome (low precipitation, high temperature), only drought - tolerant plants and animals exist. In a tropical rainforest (high precipitation, high temperature), there is a high biodiversity of plants and animals. Latitude and air pressure are related to climate but are more indirect factors. Plants and animals are biotic (living) factors. Soil and pollution can be important in local ecosystems but are not the primary large - scale determinants of a biome compared to temperature and precipitation.
