Saltwater Maps 70 percent of the world is water. 97 percent of it is Saltwater. In dead sea there is 33.7 percent of salt. That is why you can float in the dead sea.

Climates Average low 20-25 degrees. In winter time. Average high 80-85 degrees. In Summer time.

Plants In The Ocean Common plants are kelp, Seaweed, and Seagrass. Kelp is a type of marine brown algae . Kelp is like seaweed accept that they growin different habitats. Seaweed is a type of algae that grows in marine habitats. It has also been harvested for centuries by many coastal peoples who

use it for its health benefits and delightful culinary properties. Seagrass is like regular grass except it grows under Water. It also has to adapt to saltwater but it does not take a Long time. There are many types of seagrass and they often growIn the medow which looks like grasslands.

Animals That Are common In Saltwater

Common are Sharks, Jelly Fish, and Stingrays. Sharks are meat eaters, not man eaters. Sharks have a strict diet and it also depends on what kind of Shark it is. They eat all kinds of other fishes even other Sharks. Jelly Fish common because always washing up on shore and a lot of times close to land. They can not move themselves ocean moves them. Jelly fish are carnivores. Stingrays live shallow waters. Stingrays spend most time mostly hiding in the sand. Stingrays bodies are supported by cartilage rather than bones.

Animals That Are Not Common In Saltwater

Non common are the Scorpaenidae, and the Angelfish. The reason Scorpaenidae are not common is because they are farther out than normal fish that you see very close. Scorpaenidae is also know to be called the lionfish. They multiply quickly. People are starting to eat. Have a problem with them in Florida. Angel Fish are brightly colored bony fishes. They are also called Pomacanthidae. Angel fish eat high quality flake food or Pellet food.

Saltwater Food Chain All these animals have a reason theyeat what they eat. Without the food chain none of these animalswould exist. It is very important that we don’t pollute the water so the animals will keep living.

Human Interferences In Saltwater

Public, industrial and irrigation water supply can effect the creatures in Saltwater.

Navigation/transport. Cooling water for power plant. Humans clean lakes a lot of times. Humans try to protect environment.
