4. All About Biomes are regions that together make up the Earth’s surface. They are classified based on factors of the region's environment. First, a biome is unique in its abiotic factors such as climate and soil type. Climate is the general weather conditions, like temperature and rainfall, in an area over time. Second, each biome consists of specific biotic factors, which are plants and animals that can live there. Plants and animals belonging to a biome have qualities that allow them to survive in its area. For example, a cactus needs a hot, dry climate to survive so it grows in the desert. Biomes on land are called terrestrial biomes, and biomes in the water are aquatic biomes. Each biome has sub-biomes that have their own ecosystems. Scientists have different ideas of how many major biomes there are. Many say there are five major biomes, but others count sub-biomes as major biomes as well. The five major biomes that many scientists agree on are aquatic biomes, grasslands, deserts, forests, and tundra.
