Question
Chapter 45.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To write:
Presence of wide band of similar temperature at the tropics.
Introduction:
Global patterns of atmospheric circulation and precipitation are mainly influenced by solar energy. Generally, Temperature increases as the amount of solar energy or solar radiation increases. At the tropics, the temperature remains almost the same and does not tend to increase as it moves towards the equator.

Then compare them to the monthly precipitation numbers in the graph, which are in millimeters. It may be helpful to add up The graph numbers and convert that number to centimeters in order to determine the Biome. Average temperatures are also represented on figure 2.2. Answer choices A.
