Earth has a huge variety


of environments where
animals can live. The
place where an animal
lives is called its habitat.
A habitat provides the
right water, food, and
shelter for its native wildlife.

Some habitats are cold. Some
are hot. Some habitats have a
lot of water. Some do not.

The largest habitat on Earth is the ocean. The salty water of
Earth’s five oceans covers almost three-quarters of the planet.
Just like on land, under the water are volcanoes, mountains,
valleys, and plains. Many different kinds of sea animals live
in this huge habitat.

Coral reefs provide
a habitat near the shore,
where the water is shallow
and warm. The reefs sustain

and rays. There are many
different kinds of corals,
and they are all living
organisms that can grow
and change.

freshwater. Lakes are one kind of freshwater habitat. Many
plants and animals, as well as many people, depend on the
salt-free water of lakes to live.
