Q. Consider the following statements regarding the Taiga biome:

1. The Taiga is the largest continuous biome in the world.
2. The Taiga biome is exclusively found in the northern hemisphere and not in the southern hemisphere.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer: Both 1 and 2
Notes: Both statements are correct. The Taiga, also called boreal forest, is the world’s largest continuous biome, extending across North America, Europe, and Asia. It is exclusive to the northern hemisphere due to the lack of sufficient landmass in the southern hemisphere for its development.
