Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the question: The problem is asking which biome is primarily found in the temperate zone. The temperate zone is a region of Earth located between the tropics and the polar circles, characterized by moderate temperatures.
Review the characteristics of each biome listed: Deserts are typically found in arid regions with extreme temperatures, not specific to the temperate zone. Tundras are cold, treeless regions found near the polar zones. Tropical rainforests are located near the equator, in the tropics, and are not part of the temperate zone.
Focus on the temperate deciduous forest: This biome is characterized by four distinct seasons (spring, summer, fall, and winter) and is primarily found in the temperate zone. It features trees that lose their leaves seasonally.
Eliminate incorrect options: Based on the descriptions, deserts, tundras, and tropical rainforests do not align with the temperate zone's characteristics. The temperate deciduous forest is the correct match.
Conclude: The biome primarily found in the temperate zone is the temperate deciduous forest, as it aligns with the climatic and geographical features of this zone.
