According to (UCMP) 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 evaporation of the seawater provides rainwater for the land.
Also according to (Earth Eclipse) The marine biome is the largest biome in the world. It takes up a whopping 70% of the Earth and accounts for 90% of the world’s water supply. This biome boasts of more than 230 distinct species. Marine biome is characterized by salty waters that have a lot of biodiversity making up numerous complex ecosystems. The marine biome is prestigious due to it’s a biotic factor. The absence of a biotic factors means oceans would be lifeless. The sun is essential to this biome as it provides the sunlight needed for algae and phytoplankton, which are the cornerstone of the ocean’s food chain. Water depth and water temperature significantly affect the life that exists in this biome.

According to (Abby Martin) The marine biome is the biggest biome in the world! It covers about 70% of the earth. It includes five main oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern, as well as many smaller Gulfs and Bays. Marine regions are usually very salty! There is about one cup of salt per gallon of water in the ocean. They are found in the following continents North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica. They are also found in just about every country.

What is the Temperature of a Marine Biome? 

# data[].attributes.body
According to (Marine Biome Climate and Temperature) The climate of the marine biome is mostly varied. Since it is the largest biome in the world, the climate varies from -40 degrees Fahrenheit to over 100 degrees. The average temperature is 39 degrees Fahrenheit, but it is warmer near the equator where the direct rays of sun can pierce the water and warm it. The coldest is in the north and south poles, where the water is close to freezing if not frozen (Glaciers). Also, the deeper the ocean is, the colder the water will be because the sunlight isn't directly piercing it.

The average rainfall in a marine biome is 60-250 inches per year

According to(Openstax)They have a very high salt level, Finally, all natural water contains dissolved solids, or salts. Fresh water contains low levels of such dissolved substances because the water is rapidly recycled through evaporation and precipitation. The oceans have a relatively constant high salt content. Aquatic habitats at the interface of marine and freshwater ecosystems have complex and variable salt environments that range between freshwater and marine levels. These are known as brackish water environments. Lakes located in closed drainage basins concentrate salt in their waters and can have extremely high salt content that only a few and highly specialized species are able to inhabit.

Some plants in Marine Biomes includes Algae, Sea Grasses, Phytoplankton and many more. Algae adapts to the Marine Biomes by attaching  to the sea floor and anchor them down much like roots of a plant. Sea Grasses have evolved to withstand various degrees of salinity. They can also tolerate temperatures ranging from minus 6 to 40 degrees C. Their horizontal stems, called rhizomes, enable them to cope with the tugging of currents and waves. Phytoplankton lower their CO2 concentrations in the oceans, add oxygen to our atmosphere, and are the basis of most ocean and many freshwater food chains. When they die, phytoplankton also sequester carbon in the deep ocean as they sink towards the ocean floor. The organisms’ close relationship with CO2 and the carbon cycle means that climate change scientists need to understand how global warming will alter phytoplankton populations.

Adaptations To Survive In The Marine Biome

Octopuses use camouflage to hide from their predator and to survive, while other sea creature such as fish have gills so they intake the saltwater and it allows them to breath underwater

3 Examples of symbiotic relationships: parasitic, commensal, and mutualistic. 

# data[].attributes.body
The relationship between fishmones is a well known example of commensalism.

Arguably the most important example of a mutualistic relationship in the ocean is the one between coral and zooxanthellae. Zooxanthellae are photosynthetic algae that lives inside the corals tissues. The corals provide the zooxanthellae protection and in return, they produce oxygen to help the corals remove waste.

One example of a parasitic relationship is between fish lice and small fish hosts. The fish can be killed if there are too many fish lice attached to it. The lice benefits from the fish by feeding off of their bodily fluids.
