Understanding
Differentiation suggestions: 

Regions around the world are divided into different biomes (major communities of organisms

that have a characteristic appearance and that are distributed over a wide land area defined

largely by regional variations in climate). The variations in climate are mainly due to the amount

of available moisture and the temperature. You can predict which biome will be supported in a

particular area based on the amount of precipitation and the mean annual temperature.
