Study Notes
- Marine Biology studies organisms in saltwater, while the Ocean is divided into the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Southern regions.
- The Oceanic Pelagic Zones are based on sunlight levels at different depths in the open ocean.
- High Tide occurs when ocean water reaches its highest point along the shore due to the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, while Low Tide is the opposite.
- The Intertidal Zone is the area between high and low tide, and Tide Pools are shallow bodies of water that remain during low tide.
- Coral Colonies are groups of coral polyps that grow together, forming Coral Reefs, which are limestone ridges made from hard coral. Invertebrates are animals without a backbone.
