From tropical rain forests near the Equator to boreal forests in cold climates close to the Arctic Circle, different types of forests can be found all over the world.One way to classify different types of forests is by the type of trees a forest has. Deciduous forests have trees with green leaves that change color in the fall and drop altogether in the winter. Trees that are common in deciduous forests are oak and maple. The northeastern United States is covered in deciduous forest, and tourists flock to the area every autumn to experience the orange, yellow, and red leaves blanketing the region.
Evergreen forests have trees with leaves that stay green all year long. One of the places evergreen forests can be found is on the opposite side of the North American continent—in the Pacific Northwest, which includes the Canadian province of British Columbia and the U.S. states of Washington and Oregon.
Coniferous forests have trees with cones and needles instead of leaves. Coniferous forests have the tallest (coast redwood), largest (giant sequoia), and oldest (bristlecone pine) trees in the world.
Grasslands can be found on every continent except Antarctica.Temperate grasslands exist from the prairies of North America to the veld, or rural grassland, of South Africa Tropical grasslands are called savannas. They do well in weather that is warm year-round and usually pretty dry.
Tundra is an area where treegrowth is difficult because of cold temperatures and short seasons.There are two types of tundra: alpine tundra and arctic tundra. Alpine tundra is separated from a forest vegetation region by the tree line, the area beyond which conditions are too harsh or cold for tree growth. The weather in alpine tundras is cold, snowy, and windy. Most of the Tibetan Plateau, the so-called “roof of the world” located in Tibet, China, and India, is alpine tundra. The interesting thing about the ice sheet “vegetation region” is that there really isn’t any vegetation there at all! An ice sheet is a large stretch of glacier ice that covers the land all around it for more than 50,000 square kilometers (20,000 square miles). Currently, the only ice sheets are in Antarctica and Greenland.
That's all my friend.!!!
