A large geographical region with a specific range of temperatures and precipitation, and the organisms that are adapted to those conditions of temperature and precipitation. Living things need a place to live and grow.. . Fish live in water.. Birds live in trees and fly through the air.. Plants grow where there is soil, water and sun.. Main Idea and Details. ENVIRONMENT.
