This water biome is the largest biome in the world, as it includes the five major oceans that cover 70% of the Earth
. Marine water has high levels of salt, so animals and plants living here have adaptations that help them get rid of salt or take on water.
Deserts make up the hottest biome, but can also get cold temperatures in winter. Such temperature swings make this an extreme environment
many animals have to burrow underground to find more stable temperatures in order to survive.
Plants and animals here must be able to withstand long periods without water.
it stays warm all year.
Many of these forests get so much rain that there isn't even much of a dry season – more like a rainy season and a rainier season.

It is made up of mainly conical-shaped evergreen trees with needle-like leaves.
These trees are called conifers because their seeds are clumped into cones.
The taiga has long, cold winters when most mammals hibernate and birds migrate, or leave the area because the winters are too cold for them to stay.
Animals like weasels, grouse and rabbits that do not migrate or hibernate grow dense feathers or fur and turn white to match the snow.
