Biomes of the World
Savanna
Is a more varied habitat, often one or two types that create a continuous carpet, interrupted by scattered shrubs and trees.
The Savanna biome is associated with climates having seasonal precipitation accompanied with a seasonal drought.
Savannas have trees, like in a forest, but unlike in a forest, grasses cover the ground.
Grasses and trees that grow in the savanna have adapted to life with little water and hot temperatures.
-
Grasslands
Grasslands are generally open and continuous, fairly flat areas of grass.
-
They are often located between temperate forests at high latitudes and deserts at subtropical latitudes.
Tundra
It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons.
Barren areas of land characterized by extremely high or low temperatures, with low rainfall and scarce or no vegetation.
Low humidity, low annual rainfall, and an overall moisture deficit, meaning the rate of evaporation exceeds the rate of rainfall on average.
Desert
Desert biomes are the driest of all the biomes. In fact, the most important characteristic of a desert is that it receives very little rainfall.

Rainforest
Rainforests are Earth's oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years.
