🌍 *TYPES OF BIOMES | TERRESTRIAL BIOMES | FOREST BIOME AND TROPICAL RAINFORESTS* What are the different types of biomes? What is a forest biome? Why are tropical rainforests found near the Equator? In this Geography lecture, learn about terrestrial and aquatic biomes, the major factors determining the distribution of plants and animals, and the importance of tropical rainforests. Welcome to **SKAN CLASSES by IITians**, where we explain Geography concepts in a simple, systematic, and exam-oriented manner. 📚 *TOPICS COVERED IN THIS VIDEO* ✅ Meaning and types of biomes ✅ Terrestrial biomes and aquatic biomes ✅ Factors determining the distribution of plants and animals ✅ Temperature and precipitation patterns ✅ Classification of terrestrial biomes ✅ Forest biome: Meaning and characteristics ✅ Tropical rainforests and their climatic conditions ✅ Location of tropical rainforests between 23.5° N and 23.5° S ✅ Amazon Basin in South America ✅ Congo Basin in Africa ✅ Tropical rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia ✅ Rainforests in Central America ✅ Tropical rainforest regions in India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands and northeastern states ✅ Why tropical rainforests are called a ‘gene bank’ ✅ Importance of forests in biodiversity conservation, oxygen balance, and climate regulation 🌳 *WHAT IS A FOREST BIOME?* A forest biome is a large natural region characterised by tree-dominated vegetation and climatic conditions that support forest ecosystems. Tropical rainforests are generally hot and wet throughout the year and support dense vegetation with exceptionally rich biodiversity. 🌎 *WHY ARE TROPICAL RAINFORESTS IMPORTANT?* Tropical rainforests contain enormous biological diversity and valuable genetic resources. They support conservation and scientific research, provide habitats for numerous species, and play an important role in regulating the global climate and carbon cycle. 🎯 *WHO SHOULD WATCH THIS VIDEO?* • Students studying Geography and environmental studies • CBSE school students • Students learning about biomes, forests, and biodiversity • Students preparing for map-based and competency-based questions • Learners interested in world geography and tropical rainforests 📌 *KEYWORDS:* Types of biomes, terrestrial biomes, aquatic biomes, forest biome, tropical rainforest biome, Amazon rainforest, Congo rainforest, biodiversity, gene bank, world geography. 🚀 *SUBSCRIBE TO SKAN CLASSES BY IITians* for more educational lectures, textbook explanations, Science, Mathematics, Geography, and exam preparation. 💬 *TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE:* Why are tropical rainforests also known as a ‘gene bank’?
