Ocean Ecosystem project

by:Sia Bhatia
 Facts
Annual precipitation- 50 inches per year
Average temperature- 62.6 fahrenheit
Biosphere- seaweed, giant kelp, dolphins, sea otters, and plankton
Hydrosphere- I have an aquatic ecosystem, so there is no extra water
Geosphere- Sand, minerals, and shells
The ocean contains 99% of living space on earth
The ocean holds about 96.5% of earth's water
 Math
Comparisons(seaweed and dolphins lifespan)- 100 is greater than 40

Comparisons( plankton and sea otter lifespan)-15 years is greater than 9 months

Comparisons(bottlenose dolphin and giant kelp lifespan)- 40 years is greater than 7

years

Rounding (seaweed height)- 10.40 in

Rounding (dolphin length)- 100 inches = 8.3 ft.

Rounding (giant kelp lifespan)- 10 years

Totals ( dolphin life span and height )- 40+4= 44

Totals ( sea otter life span and height) - 15+4= 19

Difference (sea otter lifespan and bottlenose dolphin)- 40-15=25

Difference (seaweed weight and giant kelp weight)- 2.82-2.8=0.02
