Types of habitat: 1 Mark each.
There are three types of aquatic habitat - Freshwater, marine, and coastal.
1. Freshwater habitat: These habitats consist of the water bodies filled with fresh water, like rivers, lakes, ponds, streams etc.The water has very less amount of salts dissolved in it.
2. Marine habitat: Aquatic habitats where the water has a high content of salt are known as marine habitats. Oceans and seas are examples of marine habitats. The marine habitat has a lot more organisms in it than the freshwater habitats. Organisms like corals, shelled animals, sponges, jellyfish, sharks and many others are found in this habitat.
3. Coastal habitat: This is the habitat formed in the place where land meets the sea. Estuaries are formed in these areas, and trees like mangroves can be found here.
