The correct answer is D. 6.
A biosphere is the part of Earth where life exists. It includes the land, water, and air, as well as all the living things that inhabit it. The biosphere is divided into six major types of habitats: aquatic, terrestrial, freshwater, marine, desert, and forest.
- Aquatic habitats are found in water, including oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams.
- Terrestrial habitats are found on land, including forests, grasslands, deserts, and tundra.
- Freshwater habitats are found in fresh water, including lakes, rivers, and streams.
- Marine habitats are found in salt water, including oceans and seas.
- Desert habitats are found in dry, arid areas.
- Forest habitats are found in areas with trees.
Each type of habitat has its own unique set of conditions, such as temperature, precipitation, and soil type. These conditions determine the types of plants and animals that can live in each habitat.
The diversity of habitats in the biosphere is essential for life. Each habitat provides a home for a variety of plants and animals, and each type of plant and animal plays an important role in the ecosystem. The loss of any habitat can have a devastating impact on the plants and animals that live there, and on the entire ecosystem.
It is important to protect the biosphere and all of its habitats. We can do this by reducing our impact on the environment, conserving resources, and protecting wildlife. We can also educate others about the importance of the biosphere and the need to protect it.
