Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding what a biome is: A biome is a large ecological area on the Earth's surface, with flora and fauna adapting to their environment. Biomes are defined by factors such as climate, soil, and vegetation.
Consider the geographical distribution of biomes: Biomes are not restricted to specific latitudes or continents. They can be found across multiple continents, adapting to similar environmental conditions.
Evaluate the statement 'All biomes can be found at high latitudes': High latitudes typically host specific biomes like tundra and taiga, but not all biomes are found here.
Evaluate the statement 'All biomes can be found at tropical & subtropical latitudes': Tropical and subtropical latitudes host biomes like rainforests and savannas, but not all biomes are found here.
Consider the statement 'Each biome can be found on multiple different continents': This is correct because similar environmental conditions can lead to the development of similar biomes across different continents, such as deserts found in Africa, North America, and Australia.
