A ecosystem is an area on Earth
where plants and animals live together.
Different ecosystems are called biomes.
There are many different biomes on Earth.
Spin a globe to see.
1
Spin the globe. I found Russia. The
taiga biome is in Russia. This biome is
cold. Coniferous trees grow in the taiga.
A coniferous tree is a pine tree.
2
Spin the globe. I found Greenland.
The tundra biome is in Greenland. This
biome is the coldest. Trees cannot grow
in the tundra.
3
Spin the globe. I found Africa. The
savanna biome is in Africa. This biome
is warm and wet. Tall grasses and
wildfl owers grow in the savanna.
4
Spin the globe. I found Mexico.
The desert biome is in Mexico. This
biome is hot and dry. The cactus plant
grows in the desert.
5
Spin the globe. I found South America.
The rainforest biome is in South
America. This biome is warm and wet.
Many plants like to grow in the rainforest.
6
Spin the globe. I found the Pacifi c
Ocean. The marine biome is in the
Pacifi c Ocean. This is a water biome.
Seaweed grows in the marine biome.
