Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given 8 pictures of different biomes (natural environments), and we need to match each picture with the correct biome name from the list:
Biome names to choose from:
- Desert
- Boreal Forest
- Alpine
- Rainforest
- Savanna
- Grassland
- Tundra
- Temperate Forest
- Tropical Wetland
There are 9 names but only 8 images — so one name will not be used. That’s okay!
Now, let’s look at each image one by one and think about what kind of place it shows.
---
Image 1: Two trees with flat tops, like acacia trees, on dry grassy land. This looks like Africa’s savanna — where lions and zebras live.
→
Savanna
Image 2: Tall green trees with big leaves, very lush and dense. Looks like a jungle.
→
Rainforest
Image 3: Snowy landscape with icebergs or glaciers, maybe polar bears? Cold and icy.
→
Tundra (Note: Tundra is cold, treeless, often snowy — fits better than “Alpine” which is mountainous)
Wait — actually, Image 3 has water and ice chunks — could also be Arctic ocean edge. But among our choices, “Tundra” is the closest for cold, icy, northern regions. Let’s keep going.
Image 4: Cactus in sandy area, sun shining, no other plants. Classic desert scene.
→
Desert
Image 5: Medium-sized trees with broad leaves, not too tall, looks temperate — like forests in Europe or eastern US.
→
Temperate Forest
Image 6: Small hills with snow on top, some clouds around peaks. High elevation, cold, rocky.
→
Alpine (mountain biome)
Image 7: Deer standing in open field with scattered trees — looks like woodland or forest edge. Wait — deer can live in many places. But this looks more like a mixed forest or maybe even grassland with trees? Actually, looking again — it’s a few trees, open space, deer grazing — might be
Grassland? Or maybe
Boreal Forest? No — boreal is coniferous (pine trees). These are deciduous. Hmm.
Wait — let’s check Image 8 first.
Image 8: Tall pine trees, snow on ground, moose or elk nearby. Cold climate, evergreen trees.
→
Boreal Forest (also called Taiga)
So back to Image 7: Open area with a couple of trees, deer. Could be
Grassland — because grasslands have scattered trees sometimes, and animals like deer graze there. Yes, that fits.
Then what’s left? We’ve used:
Used so far:
1. Savanna
2. Rainforest
3. Tundra
4. Desert
5. Temperate Forest
6. Alpine
7. Grassland
8. Boreal Forest
Leftover name:
Tropical Wetland
But we don’t have an image that clearly shows wetlands (like swamps, marshes, mangroves). So probably “Tropical Wetland” is the extra one not used.
Wait — did we assign correctly?
Let me double-check Image 3: It shows ice floating in water — maybe it’s meant to represent Arctic sea ice? But none of the biomes are “Arctic Ocean”. The closest terrestrial biome is
Tundra, which borders the Arctic. So yes, Tundra is still best fit.
Also, Image 6: Mountains with snow — definitely
Alpine.
Image 7: Deer in open area with sparse trees — yes,
Grassland makes sense. Some grasslands have shrubs or small trees.
So final matching:
Image 1 → Savanna
Image 2 → Rainforest
Image 3 → Tundra
Image 4 → Desert
Image 5 → Temperate Forest
Image 6 → Alpine
Image 7 → Grassland
Image 8 → Boreal Forest
Unused: Tropical Wetland
That works!

Final Answer:
From top to bottom, left to right:
1. Savanna
2. Rainforest
3. Tundra
4. Desert
5. Temperate Forest
6. Alpine
7. Grassland
8. Boreal Forest
