King James 2000 Bible. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. American King James Version. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Most terrestrial biomes are defined by the dominant plant life. The plant life is determined in part by the climate in a region, and climate is controlled by many factors, including latitude and geography.
Temperatures and precipitation are lowest at the poles. These conditions create biomes âbroad geographic zones whose plants and animals are adapted to different climate patterns. Since temperature and precipitation vary by latitude, Earth's major terrestrial biomes are broad zones that stretch around the globe (Fig. 2).Each biome contains many ecosystems (smaller communities) made up of organisms adapted for life in their specific settings.Figure 2. Earth's major land biomes. See larger image.nother way to visualize major land biomes is to compare them based on their average temperature ranges and rainfall levels, which shows how these variables combine to create a range of climates (Fig. 3).
