Answer: A BIOME is an area of the planet that shaves similar conditions of climate, fauna (animal life), flora (plant life) and geography . The correct option is 1.
Explanation:
BIOME is defined as large natural terrestrial ecosystems which shares similar conditions of climate and consists of plants and animals that equally have common characteristics with their environment. The word terrestrial is used because plants form the bulk of the community in an ecosystem. The type of vegetation in a biome is largely determined by climatic factors, especially rainfall and temperature. Regions throughout the world which have similar climates have similar biomes. This causes zones of different biomes to occur from the equator to the Arctic and to the Antarctic. For example,
--> in equatorial and tropical areas where temperature is high all the year round tropical forests occur;
--> in temperate regions coniferous and deciduous forests occur;
--> while treeless plains (tundra) are found in the cold arctic regions.
Climates also changes with height above the sea level.
