This document describes three major biomes - tundra, tropical rainforests, and deserts - providing details about their location, landscape, climate, and how animal and plant life have adapted to each environment. Tundra is found near the Arctic circle and experiences very cold temperatures year-round, with low-growing plants and animals with thick fur and white camouflage. Tropical rainforests are located close to the equator and have high rainfall, though details of climate and adaptations are not provided. Deserts experience low rainfall and high temperatures, with animals and plants exhibiting adaptations like fast growth and antifreeze to survive in their biome.
