  1. 2. Grassland: A grassy biome found in temperate regions with moderate rainfall, characterized by rolling hills and rich soils.
  2. 5. Wetlands with acidic, peaty soil, often dominated by sphagnum moss and characterized nutrient levels.
  3. 8. Fragmentation process by which large habitats are divided into smaller, isolated patches due to human activities or natural processes.
  4. 9. A type of wetland with acidic waters, rich in minerals, and supported by grasses and reeds.
  5. 10. Destruction: The complete loss of a habitat, often resulting from deforestation, urbanization, or other forms of land use change.
  6. 12. Wetlands dominated by herbaceous plants, often found near rivers, lakes, or coastal areas.
  7. 15. A large, slow-moving mass of ice formed from compacted snow, found in polar regions and high mountains.
  8. 17. An underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or materials through which water can move easily.
  9. 18. Degradation: The decline in quality or suitability of a habitat due to pollution, overuse, or other environmental stressors.
  10. 19. Zone: Also known as the twilight zone, this part of the ocean ranges from 200 to 1,000 meters deep, where light does not reach and pressure is high.
  11. 20. A mixed woodland-grassland ecosystem characterized by a seasonal rainfall pattern and grasses with scattered trees.
Down
  1. 1. Rainforest: A dense, evergreen forest found in tropical regions with high rainfall, rich biodiversity, and multiple layers of vegetation.
  2. 3. A cold, treeless biome found in the Arctic and on top of mountains, where the subsoil is permanently frozen.
  3. 4. Grassland: Grasslands found in mountainous regions, often at higher elevations with cooler temperatures.
  4. 6. A barren area of land where little, resulting in harsh living conditions and sparse vegetation.
  5. 7. Areas where water covers the soil or is present either at or near the surface for at least part of the year, including marshes, swamps, and bogs.
  6. 11. (Boreal Forest): The world’s largest terrestrial biome, characterized by coniferous forests and cold climates, primarily found in Canada, Alaska, Russia, and Scandin11. Deciduous Forest: Forests composed of trees that shed their leaves annually, found in temperate regions with distinct seasonal changes.
  7. 13. A wetland with standing water and dominated by woody plants, often found near rivers or coastal areas.
  8. 14. Zone: The uppermost layer of the ocean, extending from the surface down to about 200 meters, where sunlight penetrates and photosynthesis can occur.
  9. 16. Zone: The midnight zone of the ocean, ranging from 1,000 to 000 meters deep, characterized by complete darkness and cold temperatures.
