Climate and Temperature . The climate of the marine biome is mostly varied. Since it is the largest biome in the world, the climate varies from -40 degrees fahreheit to over 100 degrees. The average temperature is 39 degrees fahrenheit, but it is warmer near the equator where the direct rays of sun can pierce the water and warm it. The coldest is in the north and south poles, where the water is close to freezing if not frozen (Glaciers). Also, the deeper the ocean is, the colder the water will be because the sunlight isn't directly piercing it.. Getting started. With this GEO resource you will be learning about the location and biodiversity of . coral reefs. , their value to us and the environment and threats affecting global reefs today. We will also investigate the response to such threats in term of management..
