Classification of animals. All around the world many different types of animals are present. Many animals are quite similar to each other while others are different from others. So animals can be classified based on their similarities. The whole animal kingdom is divided into two main groups. They are Vertebrates and Invertebrates.
Plants, animals, insects, microorganisms, rocks, soil, water and sunlight are major components of many ecosystems. All types of ecosystems fall into one of two categories: terrestrial or aquatic. Terrestrial ecosystems are land-based, while aquatic are water-based. The major types of ecosystems are forests, grasslands, deserts, tundra, freshwater and marine. The word âbiomeâ may also be used to describe terrestrial ecosystems which extend across a large geographic area, such as tundra.
