  1. 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
  2. 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)
  3. height in reference to sea level
    Altitude /elevation
  4. 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
    Desert Biome
  5. 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
  6. land
    terrestrial
  7. 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
  8. a vast, flat, treeless Arctic region of Europe, Asia, and North America in which the subsoil is permanently frozen
    Tundra Biome
  9. the area of earth that resides in the space furthest away from the equator from 66.5 to 90 degs latitude; bolstering a much colder climate that tends to experience frigid temperatures most of the year
    Polar Zones
  10. All area and space in which living things reside and are sustained
    biosphere
  11. the study of living things and their interaction with their environment
    ecology
  12. (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
  13. water
    aquatic
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. standard, average weather patterns over long periods of time
    climate
  17. 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
  18. the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet
    Atmosphere
  19. frozen soil
    permafrost
  20. 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
  21. Also called the boreal forest, it is considered the world's largest biome; characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces, and larches.
    Taiga (Coniferous forest) Biome
  22. 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
  23. the condition of the landscape (surface of the ground)
    terrain
  24. an imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and is at the line that marks 0° latitude.
