| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Tropical Rain Forest | Hot and wet all year; extremely high biodiversity; layered forest; soil low in nutrients because plants use them quickly |
| Tropical Dry Forest | Warm year-round with wet and dry seasons; trees drop leaves in dry season; animals migrate or hibernate to survive drought |
| Savanna | Grassland with scattered trees; warm; seasonal rainfall; frequent fires; large grazing animals and predators common |
| Desert | Very little rainfall; can be hot or cold; plants store water; animals often nocturnal to avoid heat |
| Temperate Grassland | Moderate rainfall; mostly grasses; few trees; very fertile soil; fires prevent tree growth |
| Temperate Shrubland/Chaparral | Hot dry summers and mild wet winters; drought-resistant shrubs; frequent fires; plants regrow after fire |
| Temperate Forest | Four seasons; moderate rain; deciduous trees lose leaves in fall; nutrient-rich soil from leaf litter |
