Biome is a specific type of local ecosystem (deciduous forest, tundra, etc) based on what lives there.

Ecosystem is all physics and chemistry in a specified area (up to planet sized) along with all the life that lives off of that physics and chemistry.

Environment is any somewhat loose collection of stuff, living and not (Mars Jezero Crater has an environment).

Terrain is ground and things that stick out of the ground (swamp, hill, mountain).

Terrain – the land and it’s physical features (dry/wet)

Biome – how vegetation occupies the land (forest/grassland)

Environment – the conditions an animal lives in (terrain/biome/weather/temperature)

Ecosystem – the relationships of living things with the environment that keep them alive.

Terrain refers to the physical features of an
area.

Biome is a group of similar ecosystems.

Environment is everything around us.

Ecosystem is a community of living and nonliving things in a specific environment.
