biome is a large natural area with a  \ndistinctive climate and geology.The desert isa biome.The ocean,grasslands,and tundra arebiomes.So are mountains.  \n1  \n# Words to Know\n\nbiome:a large naturalarea with a distinctiveclimate,geology,andset of water resources.Abiome's plants and animalsare adapted for life there.climate:average weatherpatterns in an area overmany years.  \nadapt:changes a plantor animal makes to  \nsurvive in new or differentconditions.  \necosystem:a  \ncommunity of living andnonliving things and theirenvironment.Living thingsare plants,animals andinsects.Nonliving thingsare soil,rocks,and water.  \ngeology:the rocks,minerals,and physicalstructure of an area.biodiversity:the rangeof living things in anecosystem.  \nenvironment:everythingin nature,living andnonliving.  \nEach biome has its own biodiversity,which is the range of living things adaptedfor life there.It also contains manyecosystems.In an ecosystem,livingand nonliving things interact with their  \nenvironment.  \nTeamwork keeps the system balancedand working.Earth's biomes are connectedtogether,creating a vast web of life.  \n# Landscape and Climate\n\nMountains soar high over every continent.  \nThey cover 20 percent of the earth's land surface.Mountains are usually found in groups called  \nchains or ranges,though some stand alone.Rangesin the mountain biome include the Rockies,SierraNevada,and Cascade Mountains in North America.","cbCaiudrlecZBp0G","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiudrlecZBp0G","pdf",2576783,"English","# What Is a Biome?\n## Words to Know\n## Landscape
