The distribution of biomes around the world is influenced by several factors, including climate, latitude, elevation, soil type, and human activities. These factors determine the type of vegetation that can thrive in a particular region, leading to the formation of different biomes such as deserts, forests, grasslands, and tundras. Climate plays a crucial role in determining the type of biome in a region, with temperature and precipitation patterns shaping the vegetation that can grow there. Latitude also affects biome distribution, as regions closer to the equator tend to have warmer climates and support tropical rainforests, while regions closer to the poles have colder climates and support tundra and taiga biomes. Elevation can also influence biome distribution, with higher elevations typically having cooler temperatures and different vegetation compared to lower elevations. Soil type is another important factor, as it affects the availability of nutrients and water that plants need to grow. Additionally, human activities such as deforestation, agriculture, and urbanization can alter natural biome distribution patterns.
