Biome
From Kerbal Space Program Wiki
A biome is geographically contiguous area on the surfaces of celestial bodies. They yield different experimental data (and flavor text). Currently[outdated], only Kerbin and Mün have biomes. Taking data at different altitudes (including 'on the ground', i.e. surface samples) over different biomes reveals different Science!

- Ice caps (currently unknown whether north and south yield different data)

- Water (oceans)
- Highlands
- ?Shores
- ?Rivers (more research needed)
Mün Biomes
