A biome is a large ecological area on Earth, characterized by specific climate conditions, plants, and animals. Biomes can be classified into various types, such as tropical rainforests, deserts, grasslands, and tundras. Each biome supports unique ecosystems that adapt to their environment, influencing the types of species that thrive there. The climate, soil, and geographical features of a biome play crucial roles in determining its characteristics. For example, tropical rainforests have high rainfall and warm temperatures, supporting diverse wildlife, while deserts have low rainfall and extreme temperatures, leading to specialized plants and animals that can survive in harsh conditions.
