Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biome 2 (temperate grassland) would have the highest variation in both annual precipitation and temperature. It has a moderate range of annual precipitation, but experiences hot summers and cold winters, resulting in a large variation in temperature throughout the year. Biome 1 (tropical rainforest) has high annual precipitation but little variation in temperature, while biomes 3 (desert) and 4 (polar ice) have low annual precipitation and little variation in temperature.
