The correct answer is Biome.

Key Points

  • A biome is the overall region of an ecosystem.
  • A community of plants and animals that exist naturally in a place is referred to as a biome.
  • These species share regional traits that are unique to that location.
  • A biome is the general ecological community.
  • There are three types of biomes: marine, freshwater, and terrestrial.

Additional Information

  • Stratosphere
    •  The second layer of the Earth's atmosphere, the stratosphere, is situated below the mesosphere and above the troposphere. The stratosphere is a layer of the atmosphere made up of stratified temperature layers, with warm layers of air high in the sky and cool layers of air low in the sky, not far from the Earth's surface.
  • Hydrosphere
    • The total mass of water present on, beneath, and above the surface of a planet, minor planet, or natural satellite is known as the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere on Earth has been present for nearly 4 billion years, yet it is still evolving.
  • Atmosphere
    • A layer (or layers) of gases that surround a planet and are held in place by the gravity of the planetary body is known as an atmosphere. When gravity is strong and the temperature of the atmosphere is low, a planet preserves its atmosphere.
