Biome Diversity
📋 What it is
Earth has many biomes — rainforest, desert, tundra, grassland — each with life suited to its climate.
🗣️ Coach says
Earth’s land divides into biomes, each shaped by temperature and rainfall. Rainforests burst with life; deserts are sparse and tough; tundra is cold and low; grasslands are wide and grassy. The variety of biomes gives Earth its huge diversity of life.
🧠 Memory hook
Rainforest, desert, tundra, grassland — each a biome set by its climate.

Why did the invasive species feel unwelcome?
Because it moved in without an invitation and took over the whole neighborhood!
😲 Whoa!
Tropical rainforests cover only about 6% of Earth’s land but are home to more than HALF of all plant and animal species.
✅ Quick check: What two climate factors mainly decide a biome?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
Temperature and rainfall (precipitation) — together they determine which biome forms and what lives there.
Biomes are classified chiefly by temperature and moisture.
