Mushtaq Ahmed · Accepted Answer

Terrestrial
habitat

They are natural land masses that allow the survival of different
plants and animals

They include forests, grasslands, mountains, deserts, etc Let us
take desert as an example of terrestrial habitat and find out its
characteristic features

Deserts are areas with very low availability of water The days are
very hot in a desert, whereas the nights are very cold The plants
and animals living in a desert are dependent on abiotic factors for
their survival

• Aquatic
habitat

They are water bodies that allow the survival of plants and animals
in them Ponds, lakes, oceans, rivers, etc are examples of aquatic
habitats These water bodies can have fresh water or saline water
Organisms living in aquatic habitats use the oxygen dissolved in
water to breathe
