Across
- 2. Wetlands dominated by herbaceous plants, often found at the edges of lakes and rivers.
- 4. An underground layer of water-bearing rock or sediment that can store and transmit water.
- 7. Wetlands dominated by woody plants and trees.
- 9. Aquatic arthropods with a hard exoskeleton, such as crabs, lobsters, and shrimp.
- 12. A large, slow-moving mass of ice formed from compacted snow.
- 14. Zone The upper layer of the ocean where sunlight penetrates, also known as the sunlight zone.
- 15. A cold, treeless biome with low-growing vegetation, found in polar and alpine regions.
- 18. Areas where water covers the soil or is present at or near the surface, such as marshes and swamps.
- 19. Zone The midnight zone of the ocean, completely dark and located below the mesopelagic zone.
Down
- 1. Rainforest Dense, lush forests located near the equator with high biodiversity and rainfall.
- 3. Grassland Biomes with seasonal temperature variation and dominated by grasses.
- 5. Zone The vast, open part of the ocean beyond the continental shelf.
- 6. Wetlands with acidic, waterlogged soil, typically dominated by sphagnum moss.
- 8. Wetlands with alkaline, nutrient-rich water and grassy vegetation.
- 10. Zone Part of the ocean extending from the low tide mark to the edge of the continental shelf, characterized by shallow waters and high biodiversity.
- 11. Forest Forests with trees that shed their leaves seasonally, typically found in temperate regions.
- 13. Arid regions with sparse vegetation and low precipitation.
- 16. Zone The twilight zone of the ocean, receiving minimal sunlight, located below the epipelagic zone.
- 17. Northernmost forests with long winters and short summers, also known as boreal forests.
