1. Open Ocean: Temperate Waters
By: Greg Loucas and Bryce Shulman

2. Animals in Temperate Waters
There are a variety of animals that live in the ocean
Some examples of animals include most ocean fish (including sharks and rays), man-o'-war, jellyfish, sea turtles, seals, coral, and zooplankton.
Some animals that are found on the bottom live in the euphotic zone, which is defined in terms of light, not depth.

3. The Animals
Man-O-War
Shark
Sea Lion/Seal
Sea Turtle
Coral

4. Plants :Temperate Ocean Biome
Primary producers such as plankton and algae absorb energy from the sun which herbivores consume. such herbivores include Baleen Whales (humpback), marine invertebrates (sea urchins, sea cucumbers) and shellfish (limpets, oysters)

5. Plants
Sea grass
Green Algae
Thalassia
Red Algae
Phytoplankton

8. Ocean Depths and zones
Epipelagic zone : m
Mesopelagic zone : m
Bathypelagic zone m
Most living organisms cannot live past the Bathypelagic zone
Therefore, most living organisms are positioned near the top.

9. Physical Properties
Temperate ocean waters on average have a temperature of 10-18°C
Different weather patterns depending on the season of the year
Winds vary, but likely high out at sea
In the euqhotic zone, there is enough light penetrating the ocean for photosynthesis to take place. In other words many plants and other organisms live in this zone where food is abundant. Photosynthesis in the oceans creates approximately 90% of the Earth's oxygen. Most of the oxygen is produced by the organism phytoplankton.

11. Composition of Oceans
Diagram showing why some oceans have more nutrients from phytoplankton which create chlorophyll

12. JOKE PAGE Moisture of ocean is 100%
Soil Type: Sand, maybe? Rocks? Coral?
There’s a lot of wind underwater
Weather: Constant flooding, rain patterns all of the time
Wet Climate
