slides you will learn about the life, rain
fall, temperature, and many other things.
Desert
• The desert is the
driest biome on
earth.
• It has very thin
soil, and sand
dunes.
• This biome is
normally very hot
and dry, it doesn’t

Temperate Rain Forest view
• You probably know about the rain forest
but there are two types and we will be
finding out the differences in them.
• So hop on and let’s see.
Temperate Rain Forest
• This biome
receives 200cm400cm of
annual rain, and
it is dominated
by trees with
needle like
leaves.
• Rain forest are found in many
Temperate
Rain
Forest
countries such as New Zealand,
Southern Chile, and the Pacific
Northwest.
• The regular temperature for this
biome is between 9ْ C and 12ْ
C
• The main plants are tall trees
with needle like leaves

Tropical Rain Forest
• These forest are found in South America, & the
British Isles.
• Rain forest receives 200-600cm of rain during

Tropical Rain Forest
• Most of the plants
are vines, & trees
• The majority of the animals in the

birds, frogs, lizards, and large wild
cats.
Tropical Rainforest
• Many animals live in
•
