Biome

Death Valley is classified into the desert biome category. Death Valley is a desert biome because of its climate. Each biome is classified mostly because of its climate. Death Valley is a very dry and hot environment. The highest temperature recorded was 134 degrees Fahrenheit. The highest amount of rainfall recorded was 4.5 inches of rain. Death Valley also has the species that usually live in deserts. Because of its climate and biotic factors, Death Valley matches its biome as a desert.

By looking at the climatogram shown on the left, you can see that the desert has some extreme climates. The average temperature rises to a very high point as deserts are usually very hot. The average rainfall deserts get actually go really especially in the middle of the year.

Unlike the desert climate, the boreal climatogram shown on the left shows that its climate stays very low. Even though the temperature change is very big, all temperatures it reaches stays relatively low. Also, the precipitation is consistently low throughout the year.

As shown in the climatogram to the left, the climate in the Taiga biome is a lot less severe than the Desert biome. The desert gets very high temperatures and very low precipitation, but the Taiga climate actually has relatively low temperatures, and a good amount of rainfall per year.

The climatogram of the Tundra is actually similar to the climatogram of the Taiga. The range of temperature and precipitation actually looks similar. However, this is different from the desert biome because its temperature is much lower and its precipitation is a little bit higher.
