Where in the world are these Biomes?

Biomes across the Globe

Let's look at the US

Deciduous Forest

Temperate deciduous forest or temperate broad-leaf forests are dominated by trees that lose their leaves each year. They are found in areas with warm, moist summers and mild winters. The three major areas of this forest type occur in the Northern Hemisphere: eastern North America, eastern Asia, and Europe

 

Desert

A desert is a barren area of land where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation. About one third of the land surface of the world is arid or semi-arid, such as in Saudi Arabia.

 

 

 

Africa

Africa is predominantly made up of grasslands.

 

Tundra

Located towards the North Pole, this biome is characteristically treeless due to the low temperatures. 

Russia

The taiga covers an extremely large portion of northern Russia. Producing violently cold winters. 

Tropical Rain Forest

The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome found near Earth's equator. The world's largest tropical rainforests are in South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Tropical rainforests receive from 60 to 160 inches of precipitation that is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year.
