Detailed explanation-4: -Terrestrial biomes include grasslands, deserts, tropical forests. Freshwater biomes include polar freshwaters, large lakes, tropical and sub-tropical coastal rivers, temperate coastal rivers and much more. Marine biomes include continental shelves, tropical coral, and kelp forests.

Detailed explanation-5: -Biomes. A biome is an area classified according to the species that live in that location. Temperature range, soil type, and the amount of light and water are unique to a particular place and form the niches for specific species allowing scientists to define the biome.
