Biomes and Their Characteristics

Larissa Mesquita, a geography teacher, discusses the importance of biomes, explaining the factors that define them, such as climate, vegetation, relief, hydrology, and soil. She provides an overview of the world's major biomes, including tundra, taiga, temperate forests, tropical forests, savannas, prairies, deserts, mountain biomes, and the Mediterranean.
