The correct Answer is:
To determine which biome has the highest difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures in a day, we can analyze the temperature ranges provided for each biome. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Temperature Ranges for Each Biome:** - **Desert Biome:** - Maximum Temperature: 43.5 to 49°C - Minimum Temperature: -18°C - **Grassland Biome:** - Maximum Temperature: 30°C - Minimum Temperature: -20°C - **Aquatic Biome (Sea):** - Maximum Temperature: 30°C - Minimum Temperature: -1°C - **Forest Biome:** - Maximum Temperature: 30°C - Minimum Temperature: -30°C 2. **Calculate the Temperature Differences:** - **Desert:** - Difference = Maximum - Minimum = 49°C - (-18°C) = 49 + 18 = 67°C - **Grassland:** - Difference = 30°C - (-20°C) = 30 + 20 = 50°C - **Aquatic:** - Difference = 30°C - (-1°C) = 30 + 1 = 31°C - **Forest:** - Difference = 30°C - (-30°C) = 30 + 30 = 60°C 3. **Compare the Differences:** - Desert: 67°C - Grassland: 50°C - Aquatic: 31°C - Forest: 60°C 4. **Determine the Highest Difference:** - The desert biome has the highest temperature difference of 67°C. 5. **Conclusion:** - The biome with the highest difference between maximum and minimum temperatures in a day is the **Desert**. ### Final Answer: The answer is **Desert**. ---
