WORLD BIOMES is an interactive textbook of the major biomes or habitats of the world. It covers 10 major terrestrial biomes from Rain Forest to Tundra. Each is described in a series of linked windows.

A world map shows locations of the biome around the world, for example desert areas. Click on different buttons for a text description of the habitat, vegetation examples, various climate graphs and a photo gallery of some of its locations.

Locate a particular biome using the map window, climate graph, or climate control. The program updates all windows to represent the new biome. Attach bookmarks to any of the windows for additional content on the net. A web browser is needed if you are going to create Internet links - the program prompts for your choice on startup. Teachers can configure World Biomes with a set of predefined bookmarks and password protection.

An excellent resource for exploration of world biomes!
