Biomes - Locations on Earth Biomes-Locations on Earth. Biomes are regions of the world with a similar climate – the amount of rainfall and temperature. The climate affects which plants will grow and in turn which animals (and other living things) can make their living there.o the locations of different types of biomes depend on the climate, landforms and altitude. The basic biomes types include: 1  Desert. 2  Grassland. 3  Temperate Forest (Deciduous). 4  Taiga (Boreal Forest).

Regional Natural History and Image Galleries Desert is the driest biome. Our center of interest is the Sonoran Desert. The other three North American deserts-the Mohave, Chihuahuan, and Great Basin, also occur in Arizona, the only state to have all four.he region interpreted by the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum consists of the Sonoran Desert itself and the included and adjacent habitats that influence its ecology and climate.

Tundra biomes Arctic Tundra Arctic tundra is found across northern Alaska, Canada, and Siberia. This biome has long cold winters and short cool summers. The Arctic tundra has low precipitation (less than 10 inches per year) and dry winds. These conditions make the Arctic tundra a desert-like climate (see climograph). One unique characteristic of the Arctic tundra is permafrost--ground that is permanently frozen. Because the permafrost has no cracks or pores, nothing can penetrate it--neither plant roots nor water. The surface layer above the permafrost thaws each summer. This layer is called the active layer.

High School Earth Science/World Climates Low-latitude, arid deserts are found between 15° to 30° N and S latitudes. This is where warm dry air sinks at high pressure zones. True deserts make up around 12% of the world's lands. Deserts are found in southwestern North America, Africa, Australia and central Asia.

Fauna's Life: in Cold Deserts There are two other important cold deserts found in the polar regions: the Arctic and Antarctic deserts. The Arctic desert is found in the North Pole which is in the Northern hemisphere, 90° N, while the Antarctic desert is found in the other end of the globe, in the South Pole in the Southern hemisphere, 90° S.

- The Steppe Biome is a dry, cold, grassland that is found in all of the continents except Australia and Antarctica. It is mostly found in the USA, Mongolia, Siberia, Tibet and China. There isn't much humidity in the air because Steppe is located away from the ocean and close to mountain barriers.

Desert Biome Facts The desert biome is one that is very hot and dry. They are found at the lower latitudes, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Light winds occur often which evaporates any type of moisture that is typically going to develop in them.ne of the famous desert biomes out there is called Death Valley. It is located in the Mojave Desert which is in the United States. It spans through three states – Arizona, Nevada, and California. It is 25,000 square miles of sand as far as the eyes can see.

Biomes Grasslands are generally located between deserts and forests. The major temperate grasslands are located in central North America in the United States, in Southeast South America in Uruguay and Argentina, and in Asia along the southern portion of Russia and Mongolia.rasslands are wide expanses of land filled with low growing plants such as grasses and wildflowers. The amount of rain is not enough to grow tall trees and produce a forest, but it is enough to not form a desert. The temperate grasslands have seasons including a hot summer and a cold winter.

Terrestrial Ecosystems Chaparral (Shrubland): This biome is usually found surrounding deserts and grasslands, such as in southern California, Chile, Mexico, areas surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, and southwest parts of Africa and Australia. Shrublands receive more rain than deserts and grasslands, but less than forest biomes.ne biome that is threatened is the Grassland biome. This ecosystem is threatened mainly by urbanization, but also from lack of fire. Fire control has become a problem in many ecosystems, as many plant species require fire to set seed and fire helps to keep other unwanted plant species from taking over.

Desert Biome Facts The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the desert biome. It covers over 300 million square miles. The vegetation does not grow very tall so the desert biome can only accommodate small animals, rodents, and reptiles.ecause there is hardly any standing water in the desert biome, animals either store water in their bodies or get their water needs met by the foods they eat. Dust storms occur when the wind picks up dust from the surface. These storms can be up to 1 mile high and travel over a hundred miles.
