Question 10 all of the following are true about terrestrial biomes, except: a. there are roughly ten types of biomes on the planet ob. temperature and precipitation exert the greatest infuence over the type of biome found in a certain geographic area oc. it is identified by its dominant type of vegetation od. they are small local areas where a community is located o e. alpine, tundra and desert biomes

Option (D)

Explanation:

The biomes are defined as the large ecological areas supporting numerous species of plants and animals and their interaction with the physical environment. They are controlled by several factors, such as temperature, rainfall, climate, and vegetation cover.

There are about ten different types of biome that are classified based on their latitudinal position and geographical location on earth. These biomes are mainly influenced by the amount of precipitation and the temperature that occurs in any particular area. In addition to this, each of the biomes is comprised of a dominant type of plant species or trees that are present in that biome.

Some of the examples of biomes are as follows-

(1) Tropical rainforest biome

(2) Tundra biome

(3) Temperate deciduous biome

(4) Desert biome

(5) Alpine biome

Thus, all the above options satisfy the condition for a biome except option (D) i.e biomes are small local areas where a community is located.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
