Habitats

=  ﻿ HABITATS  = A habitat is is an [|ecological] or [|environmental] area that is inhabited by a particular [|species] of [|animal] or [|plant]. It is the natural environment in which an organism lives, or the physical environment that surrounds a species.

There can be big differences between habitats. Some habitats are dark and damp, and others are dry and light. You can find certain animals or plants in one habitat that you will never find in another. Some animals or plants can be found in many different habitats!

I wil be looking at Cornish coasts and Arctic Habitats :



Cornwall has a [|temperate] [|Oceanic climate] and has the mildest and sunniest climate in the [|United Kingdom], as a result of its southerly latitude and the influence of the [|Gulf Stream]
 * Climate or weather**
 * Cornwall**
 * Temperate** means not to hot and not to cold
 * Oceanic** means effected by the sea
 * Southerly latitude** means closer to the equator
 * The Gulf Stream** is a warm flow of water from near the equator.

The **climate of the [|Arctic]** is characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers. This extreme climate produces the type of scenery known as the **Tundra**. The winters in the Tundra as well as being very cold are also very dark and north of the Arctic circle there are days when the sun does not rise.
