This flows continuously between organisms and the environment.
What is Energy?
This biome is known for very little rain and cacti.

These are the basic building blocks of matter.
What are atoms?
Energy from the Sun and Wi-Fi are examples of this type.
What is radiant energy?
A stage in this cycle includes precipitation.
What is the water cycle?
The main way that energy is transferred from one organism to another.
What is eating each other?
The biome that has the most biodiversity of organisms, responsible for many medicines and rare birds.
What is a tropical rainforest?
Water changing to steam or ripping a piece of paper is an example of this kind of change.
