See all the blue stuff? That's the marine biome. :)
LAYERS ARE IN STYLE!
The ocean is just too deep too simply say: It's __ºF. And has _____ _____________. So scientists broke it into layers........
~ SUNLIT ZONE: Worldwide average=71ºF (22ºC)
~ TWILIGHT ZONE: Reaches 32ºF (0ºC)
~ DARK ZONE: Last trickle of sunlight! ~ ABYSS ZONE: Well below freezing
~ TRENCHES ZONE: Extremely deep! cold
As for precipitation, oceans = water. :) In winter, the top of parts of the Arctic and Southern oceans freeze over solidly!

No real plants live in the marine biome, but several plant-like protists do!
~ The deepest place in the world, the Mariana Trench, is found in the Pacific! It is 7 miles (11 km) down! That's deeper than Mt. Everest is tall!
~ Life first began in the sea, and slowly worked its way up!
~ LARGEST BIOME-73% of Earth!
~ Less than 10% of the ocean has been explored by humans!
~ The pressure at the ocean's deepest point = would feel like you, alone, trying to support 50 jumbo jets!
Watch the video below to learn just how deep the Mariana Trench is!
