Location & Region
The Pacific Ocean is located between the
US and the Asian & Australian Continents
to the West. The Equator divides the Pacific
Ocean into a North & a South Half.
Animals & Plants
Continued
The animals and plants provide of variety
of stuff to the marine biome of the ocean.
The ocean contains many biotic factors
including algae, clown fish etc... these
animals & plants are also classified as
producers, consumers & decomposers.
These animals all have to have a diet. The
Unicorn Fish is an Herbivore so it only eats
plants. The Frilled Shark is a Carnivore so
it only eats meat. A Sea Lion is an
Omnivore so it eats both plants and animals
but it eats mostly fish. Now moving on to
abiotic factors of the marine ocean biome.
The abiotic factors that affect the Pacific
Ocean marine life include temperature,
salinity, sunlight, oxygen, & precipitation.
These factors affect the marine organisms

The climate of the Pacific Ocean is between
29.5˚F~86˚F obviously this where the Northern &
Southern parts are going to vary depending on
how close they are to the dividing line called the
equator. The average temperature of the Pacific is
86˚F. It can also vary in regions because towards
the poles the average temperature is 2˚ below
zero. The average precipitation of the Pacific
Ocean is roughly 50 inches of rain per year.
Plants we found out a little bit about in
the biome of the Pacific Ocean is seagrass, &
coral reefs. We will now be expanding our
knowledge on one of those plants. Seagrass is
what we will expand on. Seagrass had made an
adaptation to survive by living in between coral
reefs, then the seagrass transfers nutrients over to
the coral reef. The seagrasses roots are adapted to
keep the plant in place during strong ocean
currents. After the seagrass dies it helps with new
plant growth. As you can see this adaptation is an
example of a symbiotic relationship.
Animals Continued…
Animals we found out a little about in the biome
of the Pacific Ocean were sea lions. We are going
to expand our information a little further on these
wonderful & cute animals. One of the adaptations
of the Sea Lion is its diving capability. The diving
allows the Seal Lion time to escape from predators
but also catch their prey.
Fun Facts…

The Pacific Ocean is home to 75%
of the
worlds volcanoes
The Pacific Ocean is actually
shrinking by 1 inch each year
There are 6 endangered species that
live in the Pacific Ocean
In 2014 some of the underwater
volcanoes were seen erupting from
the air in the
Pacific
Symbiotic…Relationships
The marine biome is shrinking even through this
there is growth. Whether that be in the growth of a
habitat or there being more competition is a niche, or
the population of scavengers going up. Here are
some examples of symbiotic relationships in the
ocean clown fish and anemone is mutualism because
the clown fish is protected by the poisonous anemone
get nutrients back into its roots because of the clown
fish.
