Question

are two main types of habitates​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The two main types of habitats are terrestrial, or land habitats and aquatic, or water, habitats. Forests, deserts, grasslands, tundra, and mountains are just a few examples of terrestrial habitats.

Answer 2

Answer:

$land \: or \: aquatic$

The two main types of habitats are terrestrial, or land habitats and aquatic, or water, habitats. Forests, deserts, grasslands, tundra, and mountains are just a few examples of terrestrial habitats. Because their moist climate supports a wide range of organisms, rainforests have more biodiversity than any other habitat type. In contrast, relatively few organisms are adapted to survive in the dry, harsh conditions typical of deserts; thus these habitats tend to be low in biodiversity.

Aquatic habitats may contain fresh water or salt water. Freshwater habitats include streams, rivers, swamps, marshes, ponds, and lakes. Saltwater habitats include oceans, seas, salt lakes, salt marshes, and saltwater swamps. (Oceans and seas are also described as marine habitats.) Estuaries are coastal bodies of water located where rivers meet the sea, and thus contain a mix of seawater and river water. The salinity, or concentration of salt, of an aquatic habitat is a critical factor—organisms adapted to life in saltwater habitats would be unlikely to thrive in a freshwater habitat, and vice versa.

Coastlines also are habitats and may contain microhabitats such as tide pools and shoreline rocks. The abiotic conditions of these microhabitats can vary greatly across a 24-hour period as tides and water levels change. Rock-dwelling organisms such as barnacles and certain seaweeds are adapted to cling tightly to the rocks lest they be swept away by powerful waves at high tide, when the rocks they inhabit may be submerged below the water surface. As the waters recede at low tide, the same organism must be able to tolerate exposure to dry air and direct sunlight.
