Question

a researcher is investigating the conditions of the biome in which georgia is located and discovers that it has four distinct seasons and organisms such as deer, raccoons, fox, oak trees, pine trees, and azaleas. what biome is the researcher studying?
desert
grassland
temperate deciduous forest
tundra

Explanation:

• Desert: Characterized by very little precipitation and extreme temperatures. Plants and animals are adapted to arid conditions (e.g., cacti, camels). Does not match four - season description or the given organisms.
• Grassland: Dominated by grasses. Has fewer trees compared to the presence of oak and pine trees mentioned. Also, the animal and plant species in the description are not typical of a grassland biome.
• Temperate Deciduous Forest: Has four distinct seasons. Trees like oak (deciduous) and pine (coniferous, but can co - exist in this biome) are common. Animals such as deer, raccoons, and foxes are native. Azaleas (a flowering plant) can also be found in this biome.
• Tundra: Extremely cold with a short growing season. Dominated by low - growing plants. The presence of trees (oak, pine) and the four - season description do not fit the tundra biome.

Answer:

Temperate Deciduous Forest
