Answer:

The marine biome. Reef fish and coral off Eniwetok atoll in the central Pacific. Marine regions cover about three-fourths of the Earth's surface and include oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries. Marine algae supply much of the world's oxygen supply and take in a huge amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

The marine biome is an environment characterized by the presence of salt water. The marine biome is found in all of Earth's oceans and is the largest biome in the world. The marine biome is home to an amazing array of living organisms, from the enormous blue whale to microscopic cyanobacteria.

Marine Climate

The average water temperature of the marine biome is 39 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) but can be colder or warmer depending on location. Shallow oceans or those near the equator will have a higher temperature than those near the poles. Depth and temperature of the marine waters greatly impact all life within the marine biome.

Marine Water

Earth is nicknamed the "Blue Planet" because its surface is mostly covered by water. Three-quarters of Earth's total surface is covered with water. Two-thirds of Earth's surface is covered by marine water (salt water). More than 90% of Earth's water by volume is marine water

Marine Ecosystems

A marine ecosystem is the interaction of the community of marine organisms and their environment. Marine ecosystems are characterized by factors such as availability of light, food and nutrients. Other factors that affect marine ecosystems include water temperature, depth and salinity, as well as local topography. Changes in these conditions can change the composition of species that make up the marine community.

The pelagic zone includes the water and organisms that spend their lives floating or swimming in the water. Pelagic organisms include plankton (such as algae, bacteria, protozoans and diatoms) that drift in the ocean currents and provide the basis of the marine food chain and nekton (such as fish, penguins, squid and whales) that swim and eat the plankton and smaller organisms.

The benthic zone includes the sea floor and the organisms that live there. Benthic zones include semi-dry areas such as intertidal zones, coastal marine ecosystems like coral reefs, and also deep ocean trenches. Benthic organisms receive nutrients from organic matter that falls from the pelagic zone. Benthic plants and plant-like organisms include sea grasses, seaweeds and algae. Examples of benthic animals include crabs, corals, shellfish and sea stars.

Examples of Marine Ecosystems

Examples of marine ecosystems include coral reefs, estuaries, open ocean, mangrove swamps and seagrass meadows. Marine ecosystems can generally be split into two categories: coastal and open ocean habitats. While only 7% of the total area of the ocean is considered coastal habitat, the majority of marine life is located in coastal waters. Coastal waters have more available sunlight and nutrients than the open ocean.

Coastal Zone and Oceanic Zone

The coastal zone is the area where land and water meet and extends to ocean depths up to approximately 150 meters and it is also the area where most marine organisms live. The coastal marine waters are located over the continental shelf. These waters are shallow enough to allow sunlight to penetrate to the sea floor. This allows for photosynthesis to occur, which in turn provides food for fish and other living things.

The oceanic zone is the area of open ocean that extends beyond the continental shelf, where the ocean depth typically is greater than 100 to 200 meters. The depth of the sea floor in the oceanic zone can be deeper than 32,800 feet (10,000 meters), a depth greater than the height of Mount Everest. Most of the marine waters in the oceanic zone are too deep, dark, cold and devoid of nutrients to support living things.
