. Together, these elements make up a “habitat.” Without habitat, a species cannot survive.
What are the 6 main habitats?
We will focus on eight habitats:
Polar, Tundra, Evergreen Forests, Seasonal Forests, Grasslands, Deserts, Rainforests, and Oceans
. These are global habitats that cover vast areas of the Earth. Of course there are habitats that exist at a smaller scale, like regional, local or micro scale habitats.
What elements do habitats need to support the animals living there?
It means
food, water, shelter, and space
— all arranged just the way plants and animals like them. If one of these vital elements is removed or tampered with, then species are forced to find other homes.
