The marine biome is unique from other biomes because it covers up 70% of earth. Also instead of being fill with air, it's filled with water. The depth can range anywhere from 1 inch to 36,200 feet (7 miles) deep. The marine biome is the largest ecosystem. So far over 1 million animals have been discovered. Scientist believe that over 9 billion animals are still there undiscovered.

Which land biome occupies the most land on Earth?

The land biome that occupies the most land on Earth is the taiga, also known as the boreal forest. Taiga biomes cover large areas of North America, Europe, and Asia, and are characterized by cold temperatures and coniferous trees.


What makes up a biome?

A biome is a vast ecological area on the Earth's surface with flora and fauna adapting to its environment. It is also referred to as an ecosystem which can be divided into two major classifications, terrestrial and aquatic.


Where can one find a Japanese puffer fish nest and what makes it unique compared to other marine animal nests?

Japanese puffer fish nests can be found on the sandy seabed in shallow coastal waters of Japan. These nests are unique because the male puffer fish creates intricate geometric patterns in the sand to attract a mate. The patterns are carefully crafted using only his fins and are a form of courtship display, making them distinct from nests of other marine animals.


What biome do scorpians live in?

Deserts are areas that get less than about ten inches of rain per year. Although most of the deserts we know of are hot (like the Sahara), some are actually cold (like parts of Antarctica), so the real distinguishing characteristic of deserts is their extreme dryness. Temperatures in deserts change a lot from day to night and from summer to winter. The organisms that live in a desert need to be able to survive these drastic temperature swings along with dry conditions, so the density and diversity of species are very low. In other words, the desert has a low carrying capacity. Cacti are among the few plants that can survive the hot deserts, because they can store water after a rainstorm in order to have a nice supply during the frequent droughts. Animals in the desert include reptiles like lizards and snakes, along with some arachnids like spiders and scorpions. Biomes are the major biological divisions of the earth. Biomes, such as oceans, deserts, and savannas, are characterized by the area's climate, plus the particular organisms that live there. The living organisms make up the biotic components of the biome while everything else makes up the abiotic components. The most important abiotic aspects of a biome are its amount of rainfall and its amount of temperature variation. More rain and more stable temperatures means more organisms can survive. It turns out that these two abiotic components are usually linked because the wetter a biome is, the less its temperature changes from day to night or from summer to winter. That's why so many people want to move to southern California and Florida - the weather is never too hot and never too cold. The number of organisms that can survive in a biome is called that biome's "carrying capacity"


What is the average annual salary made by a marine biologist?

The average annual salary for a marine biologist is around $63,420, but this can vary based on factors such as experience, education, location, and the specific sector of marine biology they work in.

What is the latitude of a marine biome?

The freshwater biome covers only 0.8% of the total water on this Earth, yet the water which makes up this biome are distributed unevenly throughout the globe. As a result the climate of these Biomes is greatly diverse depending on the region.

What is the largest land biome in the world?

The largest land biome in the world is the taiga, also known as the boreal forest. This biome is characterized by cold temperatures and coniferous forests, spanning across North America, Europe, and Asia. It plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate.


Is a biome characterized by its latitude?

biomes are characterized by its general climate and the type of plant and animal species that live there. These characteristics depend on where the biome is located. For example the tropical rain forest biome in the Brazil known as the Amzon Rain forest is called a rain forest because of its plants and animals, but the factor that makes it possible for the area to have such a moist and dense atmosphere is because it is near the equator.
