Solution
Biomes:
A biome is a geographical unit made up of a biological community that has evolved in response to a common regional climate.
It can be found on many continents.
Biome is a more general phrase than habitat, and it may refer to a wide range of environments.
Desert, grasslands, tundra, and tropical rainforests
are some examples of biomes
Aquatic biome:
The aquatic biome is the biggest of all biomes, occupying over three-fourths of the surface.
Freshwater and marine are the two most common classifications for this biome.
Freshwater ecosystems typically contain a lesser concentration of salt.
Marine life possesses a higher salt concentration.
Ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams are examples of freshwater habitats, while the ocean and salty seas are examples of marine ecosystems.
