Lastly, you’ll be navigating to Google Earth and answering some questions about the Leuser Ecosystem. The goal of this assignment is for you to gain a greater understanding of some of the elements that help define our planet’s biosphere.

Part 1.

Watch this video entitled “The Desert Biome” and produced by Geodiode Series, and answer the following questions.
