See how the beam spreads over the slanting roof. At the equator, the sun's rays meet the planet straight on, like hitting the side of a house. The heat is more concentrated here. As the climate changes, the biomes change, too. However, there is another way to experience climate change than going on a trip to the north or south.
Temperatures also change with changes in altitude.
The temperature of the atmosphere drops three degrees Fahrenheit for every 1000 feet in elevation rise. In this picture below, we see examples of temperature and biome change. We are pretty close to the equator here. Where the ocean meets the land there is heavy rain, and a beautiful tropical rain forest covers the ground. Next comes an area where the tropical rain forest blends into the deciduous forest.
