LOCATION:Near 30º north and 30º south latitudes
CLIMATE:Less than 25 cm of rainfall per year, temperatures high during the day and cool at night

TWO TYPES OF FRESHWATER BIOMES
Streams and rivers compose the running waterbiomes. These biomes have continuously
flowing water.
Lakes and ponds compose the standing waterbiomes. The organisms in these biomes live
in the different parts of the water. Most of themare found on the edges and shallow portions
of the water.

The SALTWATER BIOMES includesthe vast seas and oceans. The
earth’s largest biomes which covers about 75% of the earth’s surface.
FOUR MAJOR OCEANS:Pacific Ocean
Atlantic OceanIndian Ocean
Arctic Ocean

ESTUARY- Mixture of fresh water and salt water.
- The most productive water biomes because it is very rich in nutrients.- It is a good hatching and developing ground for many kinds of fish.

Freshwater - lakes, ponds, rivers, streams
Marine - oceans Saltwater
