Environmental Factors
-
Tilt of the Earth
Causes the changes in season, and explains why it is winter on one side of the planet and summer on the other between the equator and poles
-
Rain-shadow Effect
A topographic barrier, especially a mountain range, that causes winds to lose their moisture on the windward side, causing the leeward side to be dry
Seattle is in the windward side of the rain-shadow effect, which is why it is always so rainy

Biomes
Terrestrial
-
Temperate Forest, Deciduous (wet and temperate) {East Texas}
Tundra (wet to dry, polar desert) {Poles}
Rain Forest, Tropical (wet and tropical) {Brazil}
Grassland (moderate moisture, temperate)
-
Shrubland (Moderately dry, temperate)
Chaparal (Moderately dry, tropical) {Southern California}
