1. Biomes
Planet Earth is not the home of the human race alone, but also the home of many species of animals and plants. Earth is divided into several large regions called “biomes” in which the same climate, animals, and plants exist. However, this text will present only three of the biomes.
2. Tropical Rainforests
The first biome is forests. Forests are divided into several types. Tropical rainforests are one of the largest biomes on earth, covering around 7% of Earth’s land surface. They are found in Central America, Western Africa and some parts of Eastern Asia. The weather in tropical rainforests almost never changes; it is always warm and rainy. Tropical rainforests are home to half the plant and animal species on Earth. Parrots and monkeys are some of the animals that live in tropical rainforests.
3. Deserts
Another biome that is found in some areas in the Middle East and North Africa is deserts. The weather is not the same in all deserts, but it is usually very hot in summer. The cactus is one of the common plants that exist in this biome because it does not need a lot of water to survive. Animals that live in deserts are usually cold-blooded like snakes and lizards, but small mammals also live there, like the kangaroo rat and fennec fox.
4. Mediterranean biome
The last biome in this text is the Mediterranean biome, which is located in regions around the Mediterranean Sea, but it is also found on the West Coast of the USA. The weather in this biome is hot and dry in summer and cold and rainy in winter. Animals and plants are varied in the Mediterranean biome. Olive and oak trees are some of the evergreen trees that exist in this biome. Regarding wild animals, gazelles and foxes are some of the common mammals that live in this biome, in addition to many reptiles, like snakes and lizards.
