What is an environment? The environment is all of the living and nonliving things in an area. Earth has many types of environments. Because there are so many types of environments on Earth, there are also many types of living things. Each living thing, or organism, is able to survive in its own environment. Plants and animals depend on their environment to meet their needs. What do animals need to survive? Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company 4
