Detailed explanation-1: -Intertidal zones, estuaries, and coral reefs are marine biomes with the highest biodiversity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Coral reefs are considered to be the most biologically diverse of all marine ecosystems, supporting an estimated 25 percent of all marine life and 32 of the current 34 existing animal phyla. Yet they cover a mere 0.2 percent of the ocean floor.
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 have more salt and are characteristic of the oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries. Most aquatic organisms do not have to deal with extremes of temperature or moisture. Instead, their main limiting factors are the availability of sunlight and the concentration of dissolved oxygen and nutrients in the water.
