A biome is vast ecosystem which is characterized by its dominant life forms. The Earth many different biomes.

  • They are divided based on the climatic conditions and the different life forms found and adapted to live in that biome.
  • Desert is a biome that may be cold. Gobi is on such cold desert.
  • Tundra biome has very cold climate, very less precipitation making climate very difficult. The growing season is very short. Vegetation is dominated by small sized shrubs as tundra biome does not have trees.

The correct answers are:

- Biomes are defined by their climate and life forms
- Deserts can be cold
- The tundra has the harshest climate of all biomes

- The climate and life forms at a particular place makes a certain biome.
- Deserts are not classified as deserts cause of heat, but cause of lack of water, thus they can be both hot and cold.
-The tundra is the harshest of the biomes, it has way to little precipitation, most of the year it's frozen, in the short summer it turns into muddy marshlands, the soil is unstable and it forms polygonal forms surrounded by cold water...
