Question

instructions: match the biome with its correct description:
deciduous
savanna
estuary
temperate grasslands
coral reefs
wetland
tundra
tropical rainforest
desert
taiga
riparian
a. fragile marine ecosystem with high biodiversity.
b. cold climate with coniferous trees and acidic soil.
c. characterized by warm temperatures, high precipitation, and dense vegetation.
d. features hot summers, cold winters, and rich soil, often converted to farmland.
e. warm climate year round, home to animals like elephants and giraffes
f. where freshwater meets saltwater with fluctuating salinity
g. shoreline biome located along rivers, streams, and lakes.
h. features four distinct seasons with warm summers and cool winters
i. water - saturated soil, important for flood control and high biodiversity
j. characterized by extreme temperatures and drought - resistant vegetation.
k. cold and dry, with permafrost and low vegetation.

Explanation:

• Deciduous: Deciduous forests have four distinct seasons. In summer, it's warm, and in winter, it's cool. The description in option H matches this characteristic.
• Savanna: Savannas have a warm climate throughout the year. They are home to animals like elephants and giraffes, which aligns with option E.
• Estuary: Estuaries are where freshwater meets saltwater, and the salinity fluctuates. This is described in option F.
• Temperate Grasslands: Temperate grasslands have rich soil and are often converted to farmland. They experience hot summers and cold winters, which is option D.
• Coral Reefs: Coral reefs are fragile marine ecosystems with high biodiversity. Option A describes this.
• Wetland: Wetlands have water - saturated soil and are important for flood control and biodiversity. Option I is the correct match.
• Tundra: Tundras are cold and dry, with permafrost and low vegetation. Option K fits this description.
• Tropical Rainforest: Tropical rainforests are characterized by warm temperatures, high precipitation, and dense vegetation. Option C is the right choice.
• Desert: Deserts are characterized by extreme temperatures and drought - resistant vegetation. Option J is the match.
• Taiga: Taigas have a cold climate with coniferous trees and acidic soil. Option B describes this.
• Riparian: Riparian biomes are shoreline biomes located along rivers, streams, and lakes. Option G is the correct description.

Answer:

Deciduous - H, Savanna - E, Estuary - F, Temperate Grasslands - D, Coral Reefs - A, Wetland - I, Tundra - K, Tropical Rainforest - C, Desert - J, Taiga - B, Riparian - G
