    The shaded region in the World Map above most likely belongs to a:

    • Rainforest Biome

    • Tundra Biome

    Correct Answer
    A. Tundra Biome
    Explanation
    The shaded region in the World Map most likely belongs to a Tundra Biome. Tundra biomes are characterized by extremely cold temperatures and low precipitation. The region depicted in the shaded area appears to be located in the northern part of the map, where tundra biomes are typically found. The lack of vegetation and the presence of ice and snow further support this conclusion.

    A. Deciduous Forest Biome
    Explanation
    The climate in NYC is characterized by hot summers and cold winters, with moderate precipitation throughout the year. This climate is most similar to that of a deciduous forest biome. Deciduous forests are known for their four distinct seasons, with trees that lose their leaves in the winter and regrow them in the spring. This matches the seasonal changes and temperature ranges experienced in NYC.
