Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biomes are primarily defined by average annual temperature and moisture levels (II), as well as the annual variation in temperature and precipitation (I). These factors determine the types of plants and animals that can survive in those environments. Maximum values (III and IV) are less defining for biomes compared to the average and variation.
