Characterized by an abundance of fire-resistant plants, this biome is found in coastal areas that experience long, hot summers and short, rainy winters.

  1. Taiga
  2. Temperate deciduous forest
  3. Tundra
  4. Chaparral
  5. Desert

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The chaparral and savanna are two coastal biomes characterized by long, hot summers and short, rainy winters with fire- resistant plants than can quickly reseed the habitat after fires come through.



Known as the ''frozen desert," this biome experiences long, harsh winters and darkness for up to 10 months of the year.

  5. Operant conditioning

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

This is known as habituation getting used to a stimulus in the environment, so that there is no longer a response to it.
