Question

The most important factor controlling the type of biome found on land is the..........

Answer 1

• A biome is a group of similar ecosystems that cover a broad area.
• Biomes are major subdivisions of the biosphere.
• Climate is the most important abiotic (non-living) factor affecting the distribution of terrestrial biomes of different types.
• Climate determines the growing conditions in an area, so it also determines what plants can grow there.
• Animals depend directly or indirectly on plants, so the type of animals that live in an area also depends on climate.
  

So the correct option is 'climate'.
