5. I can give the characteristics of various biomes (tropical rain forest, temperate deciduous forest, marine, and freshwater) (3a) 1. The amount of precipitationthat an area receives and the temperatureof the area determine the biome of the area. a. These abioticfactors determine the type of plantsthat can live in the area which determines the animalsthat can live in the area.
