Wh ch of the following statements best describes the effect of climate on biome distribution? a. average annual temperature and precipitation are sufficient to predict which biome will be found in an area b. seasonal fluctuation of temperature is not a limiting factor in biome distribution if areas have the same annual temperature and precipitation means c. the average climate and pattern of climate are important in determining biome distribution d. temperate forests and grasslands are different biomes because they receive a different quality and quantity of sunlight, even though they have essentially the same annual temperature and precipitation

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Climate refers to the average weather condition of a particular place over a period of about 35 years. Elements of climate include factors such as temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, cloudiness, atmospheric pressure, wind, sunshine, etc. There are different types of biomes all over the world.  

Climate is a principal determinant of the type of biome that can be found in a particular place. This is because the type of climate obtainable in a place determine the types of vegetation and the corresponding animals that will be found in that particular place. Thus, the average climate pattern of climate are important in determining biome distribution.

the element that provides strength to the exoskeletons of clams and oysters is phosphorus. this is so because calcium carbonate is the main component in the shells.
