What is biome?

A biome is a large area on Earth's surface, characterized by similar climate, vegetation, and wildlife. There are five major biomes on Earth:

1. Tropical rainforest: These are found near the equator in places like South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. They have high temperatures and humidity, and are home to a variety of plants and animals, including monkeys, toucans, and orchids.

2. Temperate deciduous forest: These are found in parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. They have moderate temperatures and abundant rainfall, and are characterized by deciduous trees such as oak, maple, and beech.

3. Grassland: Also known as prairie or savanna, these are found in places like North America, Africa, and Australia. They have relatively dry, hot climates and are home to grasses, grazing animals, and predators such as lions and cheetahs.

4. Desert: These are found in places like North Africa, the Middle East, and Southwest United States. They have very little rainfall and are characterized by extreme temperatures, sandy dunes, and plants and animals adapted to conserve moisture.

5. Tundra: These are found in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, as well as some alpine areas. They have very cold temperatures and little vegetation, with animals such as polar bears and caribou adapted to the harsh conditions.
