A biome is a huge region with its own climate. Where you live decides how you live — temperature and rainfall shape which plants and animals can survive there.
🌍Four Biomes to Know
❄️TUNDRA
ClimateCold & dry · frozen ground (permafrost)
🌱 low shrubs & moss · 🦊 arctic fox
🌴TROPICAL RAINFOREST
ClimateHot & wet · the most biodiversity on Earth
🌳 tall vine-covered trees · 🦜 parrots
🏜️DESERT
ClimateVery little rain · extreme hot/cold temps
🌵 cactus (stores water) · 🦎 lizards
🌾GRASSLAND
ClimateSeasonal rain · grasses rule, few trees
🌱 tall grasses · 🦓 grazing animals
🌡️ Climate decides the biome
⚖️Living vs. Non-Living Parts
🪨Abiotic = non-living
☀️ sunlight & temperature
💧 water & rainfall
🪨 rocks, soil & air
🐾Biotic = living
🌳 plants & trees
🦊 animals & insects
🍄 fungi like mushrooms
🔑Key Terms
🌍BiomeA large region with a specific climate and types of life.
🪨Abiotic FactorA non-living part of an ecosystem (sun, water, temperature).
🐾Biotic FactorA living part of an ecosystem (animals, plants, fungi).
🚦Limiting FactorSomething that limits population growth (food, water, space).
❄️TundraCold, dry biome with permanently frozen ground (permafrost).
🌴Tropical RainforestHot, wet biome with the most biodiversity on Earth.
⭐Remember: abiotic factors like temperature and rainfall decide which biome forms — and the climate shapes which living things can survive there!
