- 7. A cold, treeless biome characterized by permafrost and low-growing vegetation.
- 8. A grassland biome with scattered trees, found in tropical and subtropical regions.
- 10. Energy Energy obtained from the heat stored beneath the Earth’s surface.
- 11. Energy Energy that an object possesses due to its motion.
- 12. Energy Heat energy that comes from the temperature of matter, often used in heating systems.
- 14. Referring to trees that produce cones and have needle-like leaves, typically found in colder climates.
- 16. The average weather conditions in a region over a long period.
- 17. A large area characterized by specific climate conditions and plant and animal life.
- 22. The process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into food.
- 23. Transfer The process of moving energy from one place to another or transforming it from one form to another.
- 25. Organic material, such as plant and animal waste, used as a renewable energy source.
- 28. A thick layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the year, typically found in tundra regions.

Down
- 1. Energy Energy stored in an object due to its position or arrangement.
- 2. The natural environment where an organism lives, including all the biotic and abiotic factors.
- 3. A species that is at risk of extinction due to habitat loss, climate change, or other factors.
- 4. Energy Energy generated from the movement of air, often captured using wind turbines to produce electricity.
- 5. Energy Energy that comes from sources that cannot be replenished within a human lifetime, like fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas).
- 6. A characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.
- 9. A measure of how much useful energy is produced compared to the total energy consumed, often expressed as a percentage.
- 13. The variety of different species in a particular area or ecosystem.
- 15. A dry biome with very little precipitation and extreme temperatures.
- 18. An area of land that is saturated with water, either permanently or seasonally, supporting aquatic plants.
- 19. Energy Energy harnessed from the sun’s rays, which can be converted into electricity or heat.
- 20. Energy derived from the movement of water, typically used in dams to generate electricity.
- 21. Energy Energy that is produced from resources that can be replenished naturally, such as sunlight, wind, and water.
