Chapter 30, Problem 2AC
Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reason why there is uneven distribution of terrestrial biomes in bands of latitude across the surface of the Earth by examining the figure 30-3 “Air currents and climatic zones” and figure 30-4 “The world’s terrestrial biome”.

Introduction:

The climate and weather are driven by the sun, which is a thermonuclear engine. In a range of wavelengths, the solar energy reaches the Earth. The average temperature yearly is determined by the proportion of sunlight, which reaches the Earth’s surface in various regions that in turn, depends on the latitude.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The proposal of uneven distribution of terrestrial biomes by applying it to two specific locations.

Introduction:

The temperature of climate alters in the angle at which sunlight falls on the surface of Earth. This, in turn, marks varied precipitation and temperature. The air currents are responsible for differing temperature and precipitation.
