What is a contour line??? Well, it is a line on a map that connects points with the same height or depth. Contour lines often start at sea level (zero contour). The vertical distance between the neighbouring contour lines is called contour interval. Every fifth line after the zero contour is drawn with a heavier line, which is called an index contour. The elevation is shown when the line is broken along the index contour. For more information on contour lines visit this site
A biome is a large and natural ecosystem occupied by plants and animals. The major biomes are Arctic Tundra, Coniferous Forests, Deciduous Forests, Deserts, Grasslands, Mountains and Rainforests. An ecozone is a large geographic area in which there are different yet typical climate patterns, ocean conditions, types of landscapes and species of plants and animals. The fifteen terrestrial ecozones are Arctic Cordillera, Northern Arctic, Southern Arctic, Taiga Plains, Taiga Shield, Boreal Shield, Atlantic Maritime, Mixedwood Plains, Boreal Plains, Prairies, Taiga Cordillera, Boreal Cordillera, Pacific Maritime, Montane Cordillera, and Hudson Plains. There are also five aquatic ecozones, which are the Arctic Basin (Marine), Pacific (Marine), Atlantic (Marine), Northwest Atlantic (Marine), and Arctic Archipelago (Marine).
