2. The aquatic biome is
definitely the largest biome out
there. Water covers nearly 75
percent of the earth's surface, in the
form of ocean, lakes,rivers, etc.

3. Fresh water regions
Marine water regions

4. Fresh water regions
is defined as having a low salt
concentration—usually less than
1%.

5. Marine water regions
is the biggest biome in the world.

6. Lentic
-still water
Lotic
- running water

7.  Ponds and Lakes
 Streams and Rivers
 Wetlands

8.  Ponds and Lakes
Ponds are often seasonal,
meaning they created in the rainy
season. Lakes will often survived
for hundreds of years.

9.  Littoralzone
 Limnetic zone
 Profundal zone
 Benthic zone

10.  Littoral zone
which closest to the shore is a host to a wide
variety of species due to to its warm, shallow
environment.

11.  Limnetic zone
the near-surface open
water surrounded by the littoral
zone.

12.  Profundal zone
is the deeper region of ponds
or lakes.

13.  Benthic zone
very bottom of the floor.

14. These are bodies of flowing water
moving in one direction. Streams and
rivers can be found everywhere—they
get their starts at headwaters, which
may be springs, snowmelt or even
lakes.

15.  Wetlands
are area of standing water that
support aquatic plants.

17. Benthos
Nekton
Plankton

18. Benthos
Plants such as kelp and animals
such as brittle fish that live on or
depend on the bottom

19.  Nekton
swimming animals such as fishes
and whales that moves independ
ently of water currents.

20.  Plankton
are very small organisms that
live in the world's oceans.

21.  Ocean
 Coral Reefs
 Estuaries

22.  Ocean
represents the largest and
most diverse of the
ecosystem.

23. Inter-tidal
-the ocean connects to the land
Pelagic zone
-out in the open ocean which is host to many
species of fish and marine mammals.
Benthic zone
-or deep sea, and is host to silt sand and
slowly decomposing organisms.
Abyssal zone
-deepest part of the ocean.

24.  Coral reefs
are underwater structures made
from calcium carbonate secreted by
corals.

25.  Estuaries
is a partly enclosed coastal body of
brackish water with one or more rivers or
streams flowing into it, and with a free
connection to the open sea.
