Types of Terrestrial Habitats
There are four major types of terrestrial habitat.
- Forests
- Deserts
- Mountains
- Grasslands
Forests
Forest cover nearly 40 million square kilometres of the earth’s surface or 31% of the total land surface.
Deserts
Deserts are defined as biomes that receive less than 10 inches of rainfall annually. Contrary to popular belief, not all deserts are hot. Antartica is regarded as a desert as annual precipitation is less than 2 inches (interior parts).
Mountains
Mountains are large landforms that rise above the surrounding surface. Typically, mountain regions have colder climates due to high elevations. As a result, plants and animals residing in these regions have special adaptations to cope up with the environment.
Grasslands
Grasslands are areas where the most dominant type of vegetation is grasses. These types of environments occur naturally throughout the world (with the exception of Antarctica).
