1. A biome is a large community of plants and animals that are adapted to a specific climate and environment, such as deserts, grasslands, or forests.
2.
- Tundra
- Temperate Deciduous Forest
- Tropical Rainforest
- Desert
3. The four different layers of a tropical rainforest are:
- Emergent Layer
- Canopy Layer
- Understory Layer
- Forest Floor
4. The main features of a tropical rainforest are:
- High annual rainfall (usually over 2,000 mm)
- Consistently warm temperatures year-round
- Dense vegetation and high biodiversity
- Multi-layered canopy structure
5. Tropical rainforests can be found near the equator in regions such as:
- The Amazon Basin in South America
- Central Africa (Congo Basin)
- Southeast Asia (including Indonesia and Malaysia)
6. Three adaptations animals might have to help them live in tropical rainforests:
- Camouflage to blend into the dense foliage
- Prehensile tails for climbing and moving through trees
- Bright colors or loud calls to attract mates or warn predators in low-light conditions
