Question

which factors are used to characterize a biome, such as the desert, tropical rain forest, or temperate grasslands? select two answers. a. biotic factors, such as plant and animal life b. abiotic factors, such as wind and rain c. precise lines of latitude and longitude d. levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

Explanation:

Ecosystems like deserts, tropical rain - forests, or temperate grasslands are characterized by biotic (living) and abiotic (non - living) factors. Biotic factors include plant and animal life. Abiotic factors such as wind and rain also play a crucial role in defining the nature of an ecosystem. Precise lines of latitude and longitude are used for geographical location rather than characterizing ecosystems. Levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere can have an impact on ecosystems but are not the main factors used to characterize a specific biome like the ones mentioned.

Answer:

a. biotic factors, such as plant and animal life
b. abiotic factors, such as wind and rain
