Step 2. The chapter's glossary supplies the temperature bands and associated vegetation for each: megatherms occur where temperatures exceed roughly 24°C throughout the year, and the dominant vegetation is tropical rain forest.
Step 3. Mesotherms occur where high temperature alternates with low temperature, roughly in the 17°C–24°C range, and the dominant vegetation is tropical deciduous forest.
Step 4. Microtherms occur in a lower range, roughly 7°C–17°C, where the dominant vegetation is mixed coniferous forest. …
