Detailed explanation-3: -LOCATION: 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!

Detailed explanation-4: -Marine Biomes are the Aquatic Biome of the Ocean and Seas Ocean and seas are the largest ecosystems divided based on the level of sunlight reaching down deep into the depths of the water. It also depends on the distance of the sea away from land to ocean deep to the benthic zone. Every zone has its type of species.

Detailed explanation-5: -Oceans make up the most widespread and well-known type of marine biome. There are five on Earth: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Southern (Antarctic).
