  3. a region or climate characterized by mild temperatures and experiencing all 4 seasons; having trees or shrubs shedding their leaves annually.
    Temperate (Deciduous) Forest Biome
  4. the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet
    Atmosphere
  5. 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
  6. a large open area of country covered with grass, especially one used for grazing; contain few trees; called prairies or steppes; found on all continents except Antarctica
    Grassland /Savanna Biome
  7. height in reference to sea level
    Altitude /elevation
  8. land
    terrestrial
  9. 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
  10. the area of earth that resides in the space closest to the equator from 0 to 22.5 degs latitude; bolstering a year-round warm and wet climate
    Tropical Zone (the tropics)
  11. All area and space in which living things reside and are sustained
