Trends Along Latitude Lines Use the globe icon to change the view to a flat map, and use the gear icon to turn “on” the gridlines. Scan across the globe along each of the latitude lines listed below, and record the biome types present. Latitude Biomes noted at this latitude 60°N 45°N 30°N 15°N 0° In 3-4 sentences, please summarize what you discovered regarding patterns of biome distribution in relation to latitude. Try to include points gathered from lecture material (or earlier in this lab exercise) to deepen your understanding.
