Question 1

Study Figure 1, which shows the relationship between temperature, precipitation, and global ecosystems.

Figure 1: A graph showing the relationship between mean annual temperature on the vertical y-axis (ranging from -15°C to 30°C) and mean annual precipitation on the horizontal x-axis (ranging from 0 mm to 4500 mm). Three ecosystem zones are highlighted: 'Tundra' is in the cold/dry zone (temperatures from -15°C to -5°C and precipitation under 1000 mm); 'Hot Desert' is in the hot/dry zone (temperatures from 20°C to 30°C and precipitation under 250 mm); 'Tropical Rainforest' is in the hot/wet zone (temperatures from 20°C to 30°C and precipitation between 2000 mm and 4500 mm).

Use Figure 1 to explain how climate influences the distribution of global ecosystems.
