Biomes are the world's major habitats. These habitats are identified by the vegetation and animals that populate them. The location of each biome is determined by the regional climate.

There are several kinds of land biomes. Some of which include:
  • Deserts
  • Chaparrals
  • Savannas
  • Tundra
  • Tropical rain forests
