Answer:
- Tropical forests are found near the equator. They grow in parts of South America, Africa, and the East Indies. It is very hot in these parts of the world. Some places there are also very wet. They receive a lot of rain. That is why tropical forests are called "rainforests." The climate in these forests is the same nearly all year. There is no cold winter season. The only seasons are rainy and dry.Tropical forests contain more types of living things than any other biome. Many types of large trees grow in tropical forests. The tops of these trees overlap a lot. They block sunlight from reaching the ground. Without sunlight few plants can grow below the big trees. Many types of animals live in tropical forests too. They include monkeys, birds, large snakes, and insects. Most of these creatures along with many types of plants live in the tops of the large trees. These animals can move through the forest without ever touching the ground! Animals that live in tropical forests are Mountain Gorilla. Blue Morpho Butterfly. Okapi.
- Temperate forests are found between Earth's poles and the tropics. They are in parts of North America, Asia, and Europe. These forests are cooler and drier than tropical forests. The climate in temperate forests goes through four seasons. There is a warm summer season, a cold winter season, and two in-between seasons—spring and fall. Each of the four seasons lasts about three months.Many types of trees grow in temperate forests. Some of them are deciduous trees. These trees have broad (flat and wide) leaves. "Deciduous" means they lose most of their leaves during the cold season. These trees include maple, oak, and beech. Evergreen trees grow in temperate forests too. These trees have needles instead of broad leaves. Evergreen trees include hemlock, spruce, and fir. They stay green all year long. They do not lose all of their needles during the cold season. There are many open spaces between the tops of trees in temperate forests. Sunlight is able to reach the ground. Small shrubs are able to grow beneath the large trees. Animals like deer, squirrels, and small snakes live in these forests. Most people live in the temperate forest biome. Animals found in temperate forests are Insects, spiders, slugs, frogs, turtles and salamanders are common. In North America, birds like broad-winged hawks, cardinals, snowy owls, and pileated woodpeckers are found in this biome. Mammals in North American temperate deciduous forests include white-tailed deer, raccoons, opossums, porcupines and red foxes.
- Boreal forests, or taiga, make up the largest land-based biome. They are found between 50 and 60 degrees north latitudes. They are in parts of Eurasia, North America, Siberia, Scandinavia, Alaska, and Canada. These forests are cold. They receive very little precipitation. Most of it is in the form of snow. The climate in boreal forests goes through two seasons. There is a moist, somewhat warm summer. Boreal summers are very short. There is a cold, dry winter. Boreal winters are very long.Evergreen trees like fir and spruce grow in boreal forests. These trees grow close together. They block sunlight from reaching the ground. Without sunlight few plants can grow below the trees. Woodpeckers, hawks, moose, and bear live in boreal forests.The boreal forest shelters more than 85 species of mammals, including some of the largest and most majestic—wood bison, elk, moose, woodland caribou, grizzly and black bears, and wolves—and smaller species, such as beavers, snowshoe hares, Canada lynx, red squirrels, lemmings, and voles.
