Did you know that there are over one-million known species of plants and animals in aquatic habitats? In the marine biome, there are many animals ranging from the Dumbo Octopus to the Great White Shark. An animal that also lives in the marine biome is the Green Sea Turtle, which spend most of their life in the ocean. It depends on many things, including biotic and abiotic factors, certain parts of the marine biome and their adaptations. The marine biome covers about 70% of the world. In the marine biome, climate doesn’t really affect it. As you get closer to the equator, the water gets warmer and as you get closer to the north and south poles, the water gets colder. There are five main oceans, which are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic and Southern, that make up most of the marine biome. Green Sea Turtles prefer to live in warmer, subtropical…show more content… They depend on water and light, which are abiotic factors, to help construct their habitats. They also rely on sand to lay their eggs, and their shells for protection, which are also abiotic factors. Sharks, crabs and raccoons are some biotic factors that do not help the Green Sea Turtles, but hurt them. Sea grasses and algae are biotic factors that help the Green Sea Turtles. Green Sea Turtles also depend on Yellow Tang, which are also biotic. The Green Sea Turtle gets its name from the color of the fat under their shell. Its shell is smooth and oval shaped and has a greenish brown color. It has flippers, which is one of their adaptations that has evolved over time. The Green Sea Turtle has a jagged lower jaw with no teeth. The sea turtle can grow to be 3-4 feet long and from 60-500 pounds. Their habitats include fairly shallow waters, like reefs and bays, and lagoons because they have an abundance of marine grass and algae. It lives in subtropical and tropical waters, like the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans, where the water is
