3-2.4 Explain how changes in the habitats of plants and animals affect their survival.

3. Habitats and Adaptations
Essential Question: How do changes in the habitats of plants and animals affect their survival ? Human interaction has an effect on the habitats of plants and animals. Rain, snow, wind, water, volcanoes, hurricanes, hot summers, cold winters, large storms and more are always having an effect on nature. Plants and animals must be able to adapt to the changes if they are to survive as a species.
