Presentation transcript:

OCEANS  Cover 71% of the earth.  Contains 97% planets water  Oceans support 50% of all of the species on earth.

OCEAN  Sunlight zone is 600 ft deep.  Animals include: Atlantic hagfish, salmon, basking shark, gray whale

OPEN OCEAN  Divided into many zones  90% of Ocean is in the midnight zone (no light and freezing temperatures)  Animals in the midnight zone are: angler fish, sea cucumber, vampire squid.  Deepest part is 36,000 ft. deep. (7 miles) located in Mariana Islands in the pacific.

POLAR SEAS  Artic Ocean  Southern Ocean  Have ice at their surface  Denser than other ocean water  Animals: polar bears, penguins

CORAL REEFS  Found in shallow, warm water with a constant yr. round temperature.  Located near the equators  Largest coral reef is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.  Reefs grow slow; 1 in. in 100 years.  Corals are made up of polyps.  Thousands of polyps form a reef.

REEFS  Animals- many fragile animals have adapted to this ecosystem.  Included are stonefish, clown anemone fish, barracuda, porcupine fish.

KELP FOREST  Occur in cold, nutrient rich water.  Kelp grows in clear shallow water feet.  Kelp can grow 2 ft. per day.  Kelp is the largest marine algae.  LOCATION: Argentina, South Africa, Australia, and California Coast.

KELP FOREST  PROBLEMS: over harvesting, runoff carrying pesticides and pollution.  ANIMALS: Ocean sunfish, nettle jellyfish, gray whale, sea otter

MANGROVE FOREST  Thrive near the mouth of large rivers.  Mangrove roots help protect the coastline and prevent erosion.  There are 15.9 million hectares (60,000 sq. miles) of mangrove forests.  Mangrove forest are found in Argentina, Africa, India and Florida

MANGROVE FOREST  Mangrove have special aerial roots that enable them to thrive in brackish water.  There are several types of mangrove forests.

ROCKY SHORES  FOUND OUT ALL OVER THE WORLD  ARE DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION: Pacific northwest is steep and rocky cliffs Southwest coast- cliffs gently slope into the sea. Southwest coast- cliffs gently slope into the sea. ANIMALS: conger eel California sea lion, Harbor seal
