The first vertebrates to come onto land were fish-like animals that developed lungs and could thus stay on land for extended periods. These evolved into terrestrial amphibians (although many amphibians require water in which to lay eggs, and some are aquatic).

How are vertebrates alike?
they all have backbones and they have to live in water or in land
Where is the vertebrates habitat?
Vertebrates can and do live in all habitats actually. They can live in the water (ie the ocean, rivers, streams, etc.), on land, and in the air.
What group of vertebrates begins life in water ans later lives on land?
Amphibians were the first vertebrates that came out of the water. The first vertebrates that could live outside of the water though were reptiles. or class reptilia this was during the Carboniferous period.
Do all vertebrates live on land?
Whales are an example of an animal with a spine that lives in the sea.

amphibians
What type of vertebrates always live double life partly in water and partly on land?
amphibians
Were reptiles the first vertebrates to be well adapted to live their entire lives on land?
Mammals,birds and reptiles are fully adapted to life on land. Fish live in water and amphibians start their life in water, then live on land.
The first animals to live successfully on land were?
The first vertebrates to live on land did not come out of the sea until 370 billion years ago. Those first land vertebrates were amphibians. Several structural changes in the bodies of amphibians occurred as they adapted to life on land. Amphibians had moist breathing sacs -lungs- which allowed the animals to absorb oxygen from air. The limbs of amphibians are thought to have derived from the bones of fish fins. Because of there strong flexible internal skeletons the bodies of vertebrates can be much larger than those of insects. While amphibians were well adapted tp their environment, a new group had evolved from them. They evolved to reptiles but we are on the subject of the first land animal so that's that.
