    Habitats -‘who lives where’

    A HABITAT is the place
    where a plant or
    animal lives
    Different plants and animals are
    suited to particular habitats
    Each animal has a body and a life-style
    which help it live where it does

    Each is adapted to its habitat


    There are many different habitats
    in the seas and oceans
    Plants and animals can live in the water,
    attached to the sea bed, or burrowing
    inside the sea bed
    STEP
    The oceans are HUGE!!!

    The average depth is 3700 metres


    The deepest part is more than 11500
    metres deep
    Only 5% is shallower than 200 metres
    The total volume is about 1000 million
    cubic kilometres
    Out in the deep ocean, different
    depths form different habitats

    The deep makes up 80% of the


    habitat space on earth
    As you go deeper into the ocean, it gets
    darker

    It also gets colder:

    Below 1000 metres depth, the temperature


    of the ocean is about the same as your
    fridge
    The water pressure also increases:

    At a depth of 10000 metres, the water


    pressure is 1 tonne on each square
    centimetre
    Most life is in the SUNLIT
    ZONE - the top 200 metres
    Beneath this is the Different animals
    TWILIGHT ZONE, where live at different
    sunlight is too dim for depths in the
    ocean
    plants to grow
    They have
    different ways of
    The deepest parts finding food, and
    of the ocean are in not being eaten!
    the DARK ZONE
    In the shallow parts of the oceans,
    there is enough light for plants to
    grow on the sea bed
    Plants growing
    attached to the
    seabed, like this kelp,
    can only grow where
    the ocean is shallow
    enough to let through
    enough light for
    growth
    Coral reefs form a very important
    habitat in shallow tropical seas
    Dave Peake
    The coral is built by
    small animals

    There are several


    different types of coral

    Many different animals


    live on coral reefs
    You have seen that -

    A habitat is where a
    plant or animal lives

    Different habitats have


    different plants and
    animals
    You have seen that -

    There are different


    habitats in the sea

    Animals live in
    different depth zones
    in the ocean
    You have seen that -

    Plants can only grow


    in shallow water

    Coral reefs are an


    important habitat in
    tropical seas
