Biomes are large ecological areas on the Earth's surface, with flora and fauna adapting to their environment. They are typically defined by factors such as climate, soil type, the temperature, and the amount of precipitation they receive. Biomes are created through a combination of natural processes, including geographical changes, evolutionary adaptations, and the interaction of various abiotic and biotic factors. Each biome, including rainforests, deserts, tundras, and grasslands, supports a unique set of organisms tailored to thrive in its specific conditions. Understanding biomes is crucial for comprehending biodiversity and the interdependence of life on Earth.
