Question

why do some places show higher diversity than other​

Answer 1

Answer:

One of the most significant and naturally occurring causes of differences in biodiversity across the world is differences in climate. Mountain tops and deserts are naturally low in biodiversity, for the simple reason that their unique climates are not suitable to many types of life. Plants and animals have as much difficulty surviving in the thin atmosphere on freezing mountain tops as they do living in hot, waterless deserts. As such, these climates support very low biodiversity. On the other extreme, moist, tropical zones like the Amazon rainforest support some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world. Numerous varieties of plants and animals can thrive in these environments.
