Ocean
The ocean is the world's largest biome and covers three-quarters of the Earth's surface. It is home to the smallest plankton and the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale.

Desert
Deserts are biomes that receive less than 250 millimetres of rain or other types of precipitation, such as snow, a year. Deserts are not always hot and sandy places. There are deserts that are very cold, such as Antarctica. Antarctica is the coldest, windiest and driest continent on Earth. Other deserts can become very hot during the day but are freezing at night.

Antarctic
The Antarctic Continent, covers approximately 1/12 of the entire global land area, remains out of human activities. The unique natural environment supports local wildlife and keeps the historical record of the Earth.

Tropical Rainforest
Tropical rainforests are found near the equator between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. In this part of the world there is little change in the weather throughout the year. It is always hot and there is usually between 1500-4000 millimetres of rain each year.
