A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna, inhabiting a major habitat, exhibiting common characteristics is called a biome. Temperature and precipitation are the two most influencing factors responsible for the biome formation. Tropical rain forest. Grassland, Alpine tundra, etc., are examples of major biomes.

A Peninsula is a piece of land surrounded by water bodies on the three sides. It is connected to the mainland on one side. The southern part of India is called peninsular India.

Volcanoes are cracks that are formed in the Earth's crust from which the magma flows out. Magma is the hot, molten rock in the mantle of the Earth. This arises to the surface due to a lot of pressure build-up under the surface of the Earth.

The magma is the molten form of rock that is part of the mantle of the earth. It flows out during volcanic eruptions. The magma that comes out to the earth's surface is called lava. It solidifies to form igneous rocks. The vent is the vertical tunnel in a volcano. This helps in bringing the magma to the surface. The crater is the hollow opening at the top of a volcano. Water fills them in and forms lakes in case of extinct volcanoes. Some very active volcanoes form the Pacific ring of fire. These volcanoes are very frequent.
