Marine and freshwater
This invisible line affects climate and helps determine biomes.
The Equator

Temperate rainforest
Snakes, lizards, and camels are adapted to survive in this biome.
Desert
These are three uses of freshwater for human
Drinking water, sanitation, and agriculture
Describe a microhabitat
Microhabitats are small, specialized environments within a larger habitat, offering unique conditions like specific temperatures, moisture, or shelter for organisms.
