🌍 Where Animals Live: Exploring Habitats

Introduction

Every creature has a special place it calls home. That home is called a Habitat. A habitat gives animals food, water, shelter, and a safe spot to grow.

1. Forests – The Green Homes

  • Tall trees reach up to the sky.
  • Birds build nests in branches, while squirrels hide nuts in tree trunks.
  • The shade keeps the forest cool, and the leaves drop to make a soft carpet on the ground.

2. Deserts – The Hot, Dry Lands

  • Sand stretches far and wide.
  • Cacti store water, and camels can go many days without drinking.
  • Animals are active early in the morning or late at night when it’s not so hot.

3. Oceans – The Big Blue World

  • Water covers most of Earth.
  • Fish, whales, and sea turtles swim together.
  • Coral reefs act like underwater cities, giving tiny fish places to hide.

4. Arctic – The Icy Kingdom

  • Snow and ice cover the land.
  • Polar bears have thick fur to stay warm.
  • The cold water is full of fish that seals love to eat.

Did You Know?

A Frog can live in two habitats at once! It starts life in water as a tiny tadpole, then hops onto land when it grows legs. 🐸

How Volcanoes Form

From Magma to Mountain

Volcanoes grow where tectonic plates collide or drift apart. Heat melts rock into light, buoyant magma that rises, cools, and hardens near the surface, building the cone layer by layer.
