Exploring Marine Biomes: Ocean Characteristics

The video explores the differences between seawater and freshwater, focusing on taste, salinity, temperature, depth, and pressure. It explains how salinity varies in different ocean parts and how temperature and depth influence water characteristics. The video also discusses how pressure affects marine life, highlighting the unique conditions of the marine biome.

What is the main difference in taste between seawater and freshwater?

• Both have the same taste

• Seawater is bitter, freshwater is sweet

• Seawater is salty, freshwater has little taste

• Seawater is sweet, freshwater is salty

What does salinity measure in water?

• The amount of dissolved oxygen

• The clarity of the water

• The temperature of the water

• The amount of dissolved salts

How does water temperature typically change with depth in the ocean?

• It gets colder

• It fluctuates randomly

• It remains constant

• It gets warmer

Which factor does NOT affect water temperature in the ocean?

• Depth

• Time of day

• Latitude

• Salinity

What happens to light and pressure as ocean depth increases?

• Both light and pressure decrease

• Light increases, pressure decreases

• Light decreases, pressure increases

• Both light and pressure increase
