The term for the seasonal movement of animals is migration. Many species migrate in search of better climates, food sources, or breeding grounds, often covering vast distances. Migration can occur in various forms, such as latitudinal (moving north or south) or altitudinal (moving up or down in elevation), and is influenced by factors including seasonal changes, availability of resources, and reproductive cycles. This behavior is crucial for the survival of many species and contributes to ecosystem balance and dynamics.
