Summary Introduction
To explain:
The effect of temperature and precipitation interact to determine the moisture and the distribution of terrestrial biomes.
Introduction:
Earth is inhabited by various types of living organisms which are distributed throughout the planet. The distribution of life in different areas varies from time to time. There are some necessary requirements that determine the variability pattern of life on Earth. Energy, nutrients, water, and temperature are the four requirements for life on Earth.
