Key Words and Meanings Features of Extreme Hot Environ- ments Biome A biome is a complex community of plants and animals in a region and a climate. The Earth has many different environments, varying in temperature, rain, light, and other factors. Indigenous Climate The climate of an area is its local weather conditions, like temperature, precipitation (rain fall, people snow, etc), Rainforest are very rainy area with high humidity.

Biodiversity The varied range of plants and animals (flora and fauna) found in an area. Drought Tundra This is a biome that has no trees. It has extreme cold temperatures as low as -30°C. and per- mafrost. It is very hard to survive here, the only plants found are shrubs, mosses and lichens. Global warming The way temperatures around the world are rising. Scientists think we have made this happen by burning too many fossil fuels like oil and gas. Plant Permafrost Permanantly frozen ground. In polar areas, the permafrost can be 10s of meters thick. Perma- adaptations frost makes it harder for water to get into the soil. Conservation Conservation is the wise use of natural resources (plants, animals, minerals, water, etc.) so that they are not damaged and will be in good condition in the future.
