Detailed explanation-1: -Intertidal zones of rocky shorelines host sea stars, snails, seaweed, algae, and crabs. Barnacles, mussels, and kelps can survive in this environment by anchoring themselves to the rocks.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -An ocean biome is mainly divided into four zones: the Intertidal zone, the abyssal zone, the pelagic zone or the open ocean and the benthic zone. The Intertidal zone is where the sea meets the land.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sunlight penetrates the shallow waters, and many kinds of organisms flourish-from microscopic shrimp to giant seaweed called kelp. Ocean currents and runoff from rivers bring nutrients to organisms that live on continental shelves. Plants and algae make continental shelves rich feeding grounds for sea creatures.
