Question

Which of the following statement is incorrectrelated to biomes?

• A. Low temperature and less rainfall is a characteristics of Tundra biomes.
• B. Variation in temperature and mean precipitation accounts for the major biomes.
• C. More rainfall and low temperature is the characteristics of deserts.
• D. High temperature and minimum rainfall help to form grasslands.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The incorrect statement related to biomes is:

Option 3: More rainfall and low temperature is the characteristic of deserts.

Explanation:

Deserts are characterized by low rainfall (typically less than 250 mm per year) and often high temperatures during the day, though they can experience low temperatures at night.

The other options are correct:

Option 1: Low temperature and less rainfall are characteristic of Tundra biomes.

Option 2: Variation in temperature and mean precipitation is indeed a major factor in determining the type of biome (such as deserts, tundra, forests, etc.).

Option 4: Grasslands are often characterized by high temperatures and minimum rainfall, leading to a biome with grasses as the dominant vegetation.

Thus, Option 3 is incorrect because deserts have low rainfall, not more rainfall.
