What Are The Different Types Of Habitat<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The area where a particular organism lives naturally is called its habitat<\/strong>. The five major habitats are – forests, grasslands, deserts, mountains and polar regions, and aquatic habitat. Oceans and freshwater together form the aquatic habitat.<\/p>\n
Forests<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Forests are large areas covered with plants. Forests cover about one-third of our planet. Different types of plants and animals are found in forests.<\/p>\n
There are three major types of forests on Earth: tropical, temperate, and boreal.<\/p>\n
Tropical forests<\/strong> <\/em>Tropical forests, also known as rainforests, are found between the equator and the two tropics (Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn). \nThe temperature of these forests ranges from 20\u00b0C to 34\u00b0C. These regions receive heavy rainfall throughout the year; the annual rainfall is more than 200 cm. The variety of flora and fauna found in these forests is vast (Fig. 10.1). \nPlants:<\/strong> Orchid, vine, moss, and fern. \nAnimals:<\/strong> Bat, gorilla, monkey, jaguar, sloth, macaw, toucan, and a variety of insects.<\/p>\n
