Introduction

Terrestrial Habitats

Terrestrial habitats are places on dry land where living things stay.

Terrestrial habitats are environments where life exists on land.

This simply means any home for plants and animals that is found on the ground.

These homes contain different kinds of plants and animals that stay on top of the soil or inside the soil.

Things that happen in nature can change how land habitats look or work.

The things that decide what a land habitat is like include the type of soil found there, how much rain falls, and how hot or cold the place is.

Land habitats are grouped into four main types based on their nature.

These groups are:

Marshes

Rainforests

Savannas (which we also call grasslands)

Arid lands (which we also call deserts)
