Biomes

Deserts are dry and dusty places,

Hot all day, so water is scarce in these spaces.

The grassland is a prairie or pasture,

There are few trees and much grass for the horse and rancher.

The forest is full of different trees.

It has distinct layers that let plants grow with ease.

The arctic is a cold and icy land.

The ground is forever frozen, and the landscape is bland.

The aquatic zones are full of water.

Oceans and wetlands have fish and otter.
