An animal's living place is called its habitat. Different plants and animals require different living conditions to thrive, eg. goldfish need freshwater while whales, sea water. Animals and plants are adapted to the conditions of the habitats in which they live. Most animals are only adapted to live in one or two habitats. A walrus could not live in a desert. A rattlesnake could not live for.
Costal habitats are widely diverse, from shallow sea water, to dunes and beaches, to rock pools and coves. Huge varieties of species live and depend on costal habitats. For example, coastal cliffs are the rocky land edges that face the sea. These are complex and varied habitats that lie above the water line, where exposure to salty spray, wind.
A habitat is the home of an animal or a plant. Almost every place on Earth—from the hottest desert to the coldest ice pack—is a habitat for some kinds of animals and plants. Most habitats include a community of animals and plants along with water, oxygen, soil or sand, and rocks.
Grassland habitats can be found on more than 40% of the land on Earth. They are wide, open areas where mostly grass and flowers grow. Grassland habitats are very common, and there are many different kinds depending on the sort of climate they’re found in.
How many habitats can you see? Setting a homework where students explore in detail one habitat, listing the abiotic and biotic factors, as well as describing the organisms that live there, can be a powerful and motivating project.
