Biomes and Their Characteristics

The video explains Earth's biomes, such as tropical rainforests, temperate forests, and deserts, highlighting their unique vegetation and climate. It discusses the four basic resources necessary for life: nutrients, energy, liquid water, and suitable temperatures. The availability of water and temperature varies across biomes, influencing the types of organisms that can thrive. Adaptations in species allow survival in extreme conditions like deserts and tundra. Finally, the video explores how climate shapes biome distribution globally.
