1. THE OCEAN BIOME

2. HOW IS THE OCEAN UNIQUE? MAKES UP ALMOST 72% OF EARTH
SALINITY - AMOUNT OF SALTS AND MINERALS IN THE WATER

3. OUR OCEAN
EVERY TYPE OF LAND STRUCTURE IS ALSO UNDER THE SEA - MOUNTAINS, VALLEYS, VOLCANOES

4. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
WATER IS ALWAYS MOVING - WAVES, TIDES, AND CURRENTS
TEMPERATURE CHANGES
LIGHT CHANGES

5. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
DEPTH AND PRESSURE - BEING AT THE DEEPEST PART OF THE OCEAN WOULD BE LIKE HOLDING UP FIVE JUMBO JETS!

6. THREE LAYERS BASED ON LIGHT
PHOTIC ZONE - WHERE LIGHT PENETRATES
APHOTIC ZONE - LIGHT DOES NOT PENETRATE
ABYSS - BLACK

7. PHOTIC ZONE BECAUSE THERE IS LIGHT, PLANTS CAN GROW
HIGH BIODIVERSITY IN BOTH PLANTS AND ANIMALS

8. APHOTIC ZONE NO DIRECT LIGHT MAKES UP MOST OF THE OCEAN
MANY ANIMALS, NO PLANTS

9. ABYSS DEEPEST, DARKEST, COLDEST PART OF THE OCEAN
WE HAVE NOT EXPLORED IT VERY MUCH BECAUSE OF THE DEPTH

10. ABYSS CAN ONLY EXPLORE WITH SPECIAL EQUIPMENT CALLED SUBMERSIBLES
VERY STRANGE CREATURES!
