Which biome is known for very low rainfall?

• A. Grassland
• B. Desert
• C. Tundra
• D. Marine

Answer: (B)

Biomes are shaped by climate, especially how much rainfall they receive. Very low rainfall creates arid conditions where water is scarce and evaporation is high, which is the desert. In deserts, rainfall is rare and unreliable, so life there adapts to conserve water, with sparse vegetation like cacti and hardy shrubs and animals that endure long dry periods. Grasslands have more rain and support grasses and larger herbivores; tundra is cold with low precipitation but a brief growing season and permafrost, and marine is a saltwater environment rather than a land biome. So the biome known for very low rainfall is the desert.
