A heath is basically a barren waste land, its unproductive and there is no life there (nothing grows there). There is no life here, whereas the role of land is to sustain life. The witches are there because they are going to be unproductive in what they do there. This is all also connected to the weather (lighting and thunder) they all reflect on each other - the witches are like the thunder (powerful and suggest evil)
