  1. All area and space in which living things reside and are sustained
    biosphere
  2. height in reference to sea level
    Altitude /elevation
  3. is a large region of the world (a group of ecosystems) defined based on living things found their—similar plants, animals and other organisms that are adapted to the terrain and weather of that region
    biome
  4. water
    aquatic
  5. the condition of the landscape (surface of the ground)
    terrain
  6. standard, average weather patterns over long periods of time
    climate
  7. (an environment or smaller region within a biome) defined by the group of plants, animals that interact with each other and with non-living things
    ecosystem
  8. the area of earth that resides in the space away from the equator from 22.5 to 66.5 degs latitude; bolstering a moderate climate that tends to experience all 4 seasons
    Temperate Zones
  9. The term refers to 3 pairs of belt shaped areas, each defined by their distinctly different climates that encircle the globe as you move laterally north and south from the equator
    climate zones
  10. a luxuriant, dense forest rich in biodiversity, found typically in tropical areas with consistently heavy rainfall; characterized by a closed and continuous tree canopy, moisture-dependent vegetation, the presence of epiphytes and lianas and the
    Rainforest Biome
  11. Bodies of water throughout the earth that sustain the life of living things that thrive in a fresher, low-to-no salt environment
    Freshwater Biome
  12. the study of living things and their interaction with their environment
    ecology
  13. Bodies of water throughout the earth that sustain the life of living things that are adapted to thrive in a high salt environment
    Marine/ Saltwater Biome
  14. a barren area of landscape where little precipitation (less than 10 inches per year) occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the p
