2. * The marine biome is the _________________ biome. ocean covers about 70% of the Earth * has salt water * Organisms that live in the ocean are able to live in the salt water. * sunlight, water pressure, and water movement affect the organisms too because of these things, the ocean is divided into different areas different organisms live in each area * The water that is very deep has cold temperatures, high pressures, and is very dark * About 95% of water on Earth is saltwater

3. Photic Zone- above 200m Made up of the euphotic & disphotic zones Sunlight penetrates Plant life and animal life is abundant

4. Aphotic Zone- below 200m Sunlight DOES NOT penetrate There are no plants Animal life is highly specialized Many of the animals of the deep ocean have a special adaptation known as bioluminescence

5. Aphotic Zone- below 200m

7. Many of the plants live near the top of the water they need the sunlight to help them grow and make food

8. Most marine organisms live near the top of the water or close to land Many animals dig down into the sand or hang on to rocks, so they do not get lost in the sea Other larger animals live where the water is deep barracuda star fishclown fishcrab flashlight fishgreen sea turtlekiller whaleshrimp

12. * Estuary * border between a freshwater biome and a marine biome * are salt marshes, lagoons, swamps, and mouths of rivers that go into the ocean * are a mixture of freshwater and salt water * some scientists believe estuaries are another biome, other scientists believe estuaries are an ecosystem * not very deep, so sunlight gets to all the water * have many fish and plants * also known as brackish water

13. Plankton are microscopic algae, plants, and other organisms that float on the surface of water biomes. They need sunlight to survive.

14. Phytoplankton are important producers in water biomes. They are the first step in many aquatic food chains
