A biome is made up of many different ecosystems. The ecosystems tend to have the same pants and animals as neighboring biomes around the boundaries. The major biomes are the tundra‚ taiga‚ tropical rain forest‚ temperate forests‚ desert‚ grassland‚ savanna‚ chaparral‚ and marine. Each biome has it’s own characteristics such as

A nebula‚ an immense cloud of hydrogen gas and dust‚ condenses into smaller regions of matter. On occasion‚ one of these regions collapses under the force of its own gravitational attraction‚ often triggered by an outside force‚ like a nearby supernova-an explosion of a star. After the collapse of a cloud‚ atoms begin

A habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal‚ plant‚ or other type of organism.[1][2] It is the natural environment in which an organism lives‚ or the physical environment that surrounds a speciespopulation.[3] A habitat is made up of physical factors such as soil‚ moisture‚ range of temperature‚ and availability of light as well as biotic factors such as the availability of food and the presence of predators. A habitat is not necessarily a

Australia lies at the center of the Australian Plate and is composed of some of the most ancient rocks on the planet. While New Zealand lies at the convergence of the Pacific and Australian Plates. It is also younger and less stable. In New Zealand‚ volcanoes and eruptions are common‚ whereas they are unknown of in Australia.
