Time-Saving for Teachers – Ready to use as a teaching aid, revision outline, or exam preparation tool with minimal preparation required.

What’s Inside?

Climate Fundamentals – Definitions and key drivers of climate systems; understanding of weather vs. climate.

Factors Influencing Climate – Latitude, altitude, prevailing winds, ocean currents, heat budgets, and atmospheric composition.

Climate Zones – Characteristics of major climate zones and how they are distributed globally.

Biomes Overview – Definitions of biomes; links between climate patterns and biome distribution.

Major Terrestrial Biomes – Tropical rainforest, savanna, desert, temperate forest, boreal forest, tundra – key features and climatic controls.

Aquatic Biomes – Freshwater and marine biome features, key biogeochemical processes, and climatic influences.

Biome Interactions with Climate – How climate influences biome structure and function; feedbacks between biomes and climate systems.

Human Impacts on Climate & Biomes – Effects of land use change, deforestation, urbanisation, and climate change on biome distribution and stability.

Case Examples – Real-world examples highlighting climate-biome relationships and environmental responses to change.

Glossary of Key Terms – Definitions of essential ESS vocabulary related to climate and biomes.

This resource is:

Concise and Effective – Focuses on essential concepts without unnecessary detail.
Exam-Focused – Covers all relevant IB DP ESS content in an assessment-ready format.
