GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -What is a biome in biology and geography? To put it simply, a biome is the largest unit used by scientists to describe geographic regions around the world that share similar characteristics-such as climate, vegetation, soil type, and fauna.

Detailed explanation-2: -A biome is a large community of vegetation and wildlife adapted to a specific climate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical rainforests have an emergent layer of tall trees over 40 m tall, an overstory of trees up to 30 m tall, a sub-canopy layer of trees and tall shrubs, and a ground layer of herbaceous vegetation. Tropical forests have the highest biodiversity and primary productivity of any of the terrestrial biomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Groups of similar ecosystems make up individual biomes. Some examples of ecosystems in the Pacific Ocean are kelp forests, the intertidal zone, coral reefs and hydrothermal vents. The different species that live together in an ecosystem are called a community.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are five major types of biomes: aquatic, grassland, forest, desert, and tundra, though some of these biomes can be further divided into more specific categories, such as freshwater, marine, savanna, tropical rainforest, temperate rainforest, and taiga. Aquatic biomes include both freshwater and marine biomes.
