    This document discusses the habitats and habits of different animals. It defines habitat as the environment where an organism lives and finds what it needs to survive, including food and shelter. It then describes several major habitat types such as forests, aquatic environments like oceans and rivers, grasslands, deserts, and mountainous and polar regions. It also discusses the different marine environments including benthic organisms that live along the ocean bottom, either sessile or vagile, and pelagic organisms that live in open water including nektons that swim and planktons that float. Finally, it lists factors that control and affect the marine environment such as temperature, salinity, light penetration, water movement, bottom conditions, and biological associations.

    HABITS AND HABITATS OF ANIMALS

    • A habitat is an environment where an organism lives throughout the year or for shorter
    periods of time to find a mate. The habitat contains all an animal needs to survive such as
    food and shelter.
    Different Types of Habitat
    Forest Habitat. Forest is a large area covered with plants. ...
    Aquatic Habitat. Habitat in water is aquatic habitats. ...
    Grassland Habitat. Grassland is regions dominated by grasses. ...
    Dessert Habitat. ...
    Mountainous and Polar Habitat.
    MARINE ENVIRONMENT
    MARINE ORGANISMS

    1. Benthonic (live along bottom):


    a. Sessile: (Seated benthose) These organisms have fix mode of
    life.
    b. Vagile: (Wandering benthose) These organisms crawl or move
    along the bottom
    2. Pelagic (Live in open sea):
    a. Nektons: These are swimmers in open sea.
    b. Planktons: These are floaters in open sea.
    FACTORS CONTROLLING OR AFFECTING MARINE ENVIRONMENT

    1. Temperature

    2. Salinity

    3. Light penetration
