HABITAT A habitat is an ecological or environmental
area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal, plant, or other type of organism. It is the natural environment in which an organism lives, or the physical environment that surrounds a species population.
A habitat is made up of physical factors such as soil, moisture, range of temperature, and availability of light as well as biotic factors such as the availability of food and the presence of predators. A habitat is not necessarily a geographic area—for a parasitic organism it is the body of its host or even a cell within the host's body
AQUATIC HABITATAquatic habitat is something that is related to
WATER.As it’s name itself describes it – AQATIC
means WATERIn an Aquatic Habitat, we can find animals as
well as plants.There are two types of water bodies on
Earth– FRESH WATER BODIES and SALT – WATER BODIES.
It is also called SALINE WATER, and BRINE WATER.
It mainly consists of oceans and seas. They are mainly composed of water, salt
and some impurities. It is not fit for DRINKING, AGRICULTURE,
COOKING FOOD etc. SALINE WATER can be used to obtain salt.
SALT – WATER BODY
PROCESS OF OBTAINING SALT To obtain salt we must first take out large
amount of saline water from the sea. This can be done by high tides or can be done in a small part of the sea near the shore.
Then it must be kept in the sun so that the water evaporates and only the salt is left.
In INDIA, GUJARAT is the largest producer of salt.
FRESH WATER BODY
FRESH WATER BODY consists of – lakes, rivers, ponds etc.
This water is fit for DRINKING, AGRICULTURE, COOKING etc.
These are small water bodies and they finally flow towards the sea or the ocean.
The longest river on earth is the NILE river.
HYDROPHYTES
HYDROPHYTES are plants which live inside or on WATER.
They are also called macrophytes.

HYDROCOLES HYDROCLOES are the animals which live
underwater. EXAMPLES : FISH, FROG, DOLPHIN, STARFISH
etc.

ADAPTATIONS
FISH: fish can breathe through their gills and their body is streamlined to help them swim against the water currents.
FROG: A frog is an amphibian i.e. it can live both on land and water. It breathes through it’s moist skin when under water and through it’s nostrils when on land.
DOLPHIN: A dolphin is a mammal which lives under water it does not give eggs and comes out of the water to breathe.
