If you’re going to a temperate ocean lookout for some

of these landforms: Islands Trench’s, Sea mounts,

Continents, Continental shelfs and continental slopes.

Some animals you might see.

Atlantic Hagfish: Eats fish, lives on the ocean bed, it is not threatened in conservation, There is plenty of them out there.

Basking Shark: Eats plankton, lives in the oceanic, not threatened in conservation status. LOOK OUT!!!

Lantern Fish: Eats Plankton, lives in the deep sea, not threatened conservation status. Probably won’t see them.

Some vegetation to find.

Seaweed: Is edible, is basically grass in the water, is served in chinese reteraunts.

Plankton: Is fed on by a lot of animals, a character in the T.V. show SpongeBob SquarePants.

What is the difference between Tropical oceans and Temperate oceans? The difference is tropical oceans are hot and Temperate oceans are warm.

Why do Hurricanes start in Tropical oceans instead of Temperate oceans? Because Hurricanes need a lot of heat to form and Tropical oceans are hoter then Temperate.

If you’re a water person listen to this.

Water plays a very important part in my biome. All the animals in my biome live in water, all the vegetation lives in water, disaster comes from water. It plays a huge part in my biome because my whole biome is water. It’s an ocean. DUH!!!
