What are the major types of habitats found on Earth?
The major types of habitats found on Earth are terrestrial habitats and aquatic habitats. These habitats are classified based on whether organisms live mainly on land or in water.
Terrestrial habitats are land-based environments where plants and animals survive under different conditions. Examples include forests, deserts, grasslands, and mountains. Aquatic habitats are water-based environments that support organisms adapted to living in water. Examples include ponds, lakes, rivers, seas, and oceans.
Each habitat has different conditions such as temperature, availability of water, food sources, and shelter, which influence the types of organisms found there.
