  20. SO, IF WE HAD A HYPOTHETICAL CONTINENT, IT’S BIOMES WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS?

  21. In summary, Biomes are affected by Amount , angle & seasonal tilt of solar radiation Amount of land verses water in a given area Distance away from a large body of water Prevailing wind patterns The type and amount of plants and vegetation Geographic features like valleys and mountains
