Deserts can be cold.
True or False
True
Antarctica is the coldest desert and the coldest place on earth. It is made up of thick sheets of ice accumulated for thousands of years.

A wetland is entirely covered by this at least part of the year.
Water or Tall Grass
Water
A wetland is an area of land that is either covered by water or saturated with water.

Over 75 percent of Earth’s surface is aquatic biome, making it...
The largest biome or smallest biome
The largest Biome
100
An area that has a large number of trees.
Grasslands or Forest
Forest
There are three general types of forest that exist: temperate, tropical, and boreal. Experts estimate that these forests cover approximately one-third of Earth’s surface.

Is Charles Darwin consider a marine biologist?
Yes, Charles Darwin was a marine biologist
While not solely a marine biologist, Charles Darwin's work significantly impacted marine biology
200
There are how many types of deserts
4 or 5
There are four main types of deserts: hot and dry, semi-arid, coastal, and cold. These types are distinguished by their climate, temperature, and the amount of precipitation they receive
200
Most scientist say there are how many major types of wet lands?
3 or 2
3
Most scientists consider swamps, marshes, and bogs to be the three major kinds of wetlands.
200
The aquatic biome is divided into How many regions.
1 or 2
2
Freshwater and marine regions. Freshwater regions, such as lakes and rivers, have a low salt concentration. Marine regions, such as estuaries and the ocean, have higher salt concentrations.
200
How many types of Biomes are there
8 or 5
8
Others list eight major terrestrial biomes: Wetlands, Forests, Grasslands, Deserts, Tundras and Aquatic biomes within the aquatic category.

What do marine biologist do?
Marine biologists study life in the oceans and saltwater ecosystems
300
A Desert must receive less than 25 centimeters (10 inches) of this a year.
Rain or wind
Rain (though any other form of water falling from the sky)
Deserts are defined by their low annual precipitation, which is often less than enough to support the growth of most plants.
300
There are 2 types of wetlands, Inland wetlands which are periodically covered by water due to very poor draining soils. And this one which is vegetated areas that are subject to regular flooding by the tides.
Tidal wetlands or Bogs
Tidal wetlands
They can be either saltwater or brackish (mixed freshwater and saltwater) and play a vital role in coastal ecosystems.
300
Marine regions are usually very salty! There is about one cup of salt per gallon of water in the ocean. We call how salty the water is by using this word?
Salinity or freezing
Salinity,
the measure of how salty water is, is typically measured using a conductivity meter or a refractometer.
300
A cold, treeless regions characterized by permafrost (permanently frozen subsoil) and short, cool growing seasons.
Tundra or Rainforest
Tundra
They are found in the Arctic and on high mountains (alpine tundra). The tundra's harsh conditions, including low temperatures and limited nutrients, result in low biodiversity and simple plant life, such as mosses, lichens, and small shrubs.

Who "invented" marine biology?
Aristotle was the first written person to “invent” marine biology

What animal is this
Manatee or Whale
Manatees
Manateesare found in both freshwater and saltwater. They inhabit rivers, bays, canals, estuaries, and coastal areas, freely moving between fresh, saline, and brackish waters.
400
Which animal is this
Rhea or a Ostrich
Rhea
Rheas are distinguished from ostriches by their three-toed feet (those of the ostrich have two), their lack of fine plumes, and their brownish colour.
400
When were the first known records of marine biology from?
First known records are from 344-322BC
500
The cacti have enlarged stems to store water, as well as these long needle like thorns, to protect their water reserves from thirsty animals.
Spines or Flowers
Spines
for protection from herbivores and to shade the plant

Wetlands offer numerous benefits to people like improving water quality to allow it to be drinkable, support for diverse ecosystems medicinal plants, and this?
Protection from the wind or protection from floods
flood protection
Wetlands play a crucial role in flood prevention. They act as natural sponges, absorbing excess water and slowing down its flow, reducing the impact of floods.
500
Pollution from humans where water carries pollutants like sediment, excess nutrients, chemicals, and trash, impacting water quality and harming aquatic life is called...
Algea bloom or Runnoff
Run off
500
A biome is a large area of rolling
grass with scattered trees and shrubs. With
little rain, the grassland is not able to support large
numbers of trees.
Alpine or Grassland
Grassland
The grasslands have large herds of grazing animals adapted to their environment. They eat grass, which grows in abundance. For example, wallabies live in the Australian grassland or savanna.
