3. BIODIVERSITY
 Degree of variation in organisms
within a biome, an ecosystem, or an
entire biosphere.
 Harsh conditions shaped
ecosystems.
 Proximity to shoreline.
 Diverse zootomy and phytotomy.

4. FLORA

 Habitat.
 Behavior.
 Endangered species.

8. CLIMATE
 Diverse temperatures and
precipitation.
