what types of water biomes are there? How many are there?

Water Systems:\n\nhttp://www.ec.gc.ca/water/images/nature/prop/a2f2e.jpg\n\n95% of Earth's water is Salt Water leaving 5% as Fresh Water.  Nearly all of the Fresh water is in the form of Ice or underground.\n\nThis site appears to have a lot of data as well as activities for learning.\n\nhttp://members.aol.com/bowermanb/water.html

There are about 250,000 angiosperm species (flowering plants and trees), and about 80,000 gymnosperm species.  Include the other groupings, and the total comes to about 370,000.\n\nThat said, it is estimated that we have discovered only between 10 and 40% of all known species (and we probably never will discover them given the rate of destruction of habitats such as rain forests.\n\nSo the total is probably between 1.5 and 3.7 milliion, though it's a moot point because we'll never, ever know!

I don't believe there are any.  There are about a dozen islands though.

Water, you can not sustain life without it. That includes every form of life, man, animal, forests, bacteria, etc. Everything!\n\nAir, which contains oxygen on which we as human beings depend on for our dear life.\n\nSunlight, which is the beginning of our very existence. Imagine what life would be if there was no sun. \n\nThere are many other natural resources which surround us on this wonderful planet called the Earth. But I would say that these three definitely top the list.\n\nBy the way, you ask very intelligent questions. Good for you to be so concerned about your enviornment.

Here are a couple of great sites on pond ecosystems, including a powerpoint presentation.\n\nI hope this helps.

Coastal oceans are oceans that are next to a coast. Kind of biome: wet. Animals and plants: wet ones that like water. Found in Phillipines: no, the coast migrated to Australia and took the ocean with it.

Biodiversity or biological diversity is the diversity of life. There are a number of definitions and measures of biodiversity.\n\nIn ecology, an ecosystem is a combination of all the living and non-living elements of an area. Ecosystems are the smallest level of organization in nature that incorporates both living and nonliving factors. They can range in scale from a wide geographical area such as the Sahara Desert to something small as a puddle. The term microecosystem may be used to describe a very small (often closed) ecosystem.\nIn general terms an ecological system can be thought of as an assemblage of organisms (plant, animal and other living organisms—also referred to as a biotic community or biocoenosis) living together with their environment (or biotope), functioning as a loose unit. That is, a dynamic and complex whole, interacting as an "ecological unit."\nYou can see the Terrestrial biomes in\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Terrestrial_biomes

You probably mean phytoplankton.\nThere are several types.  See the wikipedia article referenced below.

I read recently in a weekly magazine that there are 230,000 oceanic and 1.5 million non oceanic (land + air + lakes + river) classified species. According to the same article there would be around 1.5  to 2 millions not classified species in the oceans alone.\nI don't consider this magazine very higly and it did not state its sources.\nBut anyways, I would guess less than 3 million in all.

Well, according to seafaring lore, someone who has been everywhere has "sailed the seven seas".\nLooking on a Map, there are many more seas than seven, but I find only 4 oceans:\n\nPacific\nAltantic\nArtic\nIndian

Plankton are drifting organisms that inhabit the water column of oceans, seas, and bodies of fresh water.\n\nAmoeba itself is found in freshwater, typically on decaying vegetation from streams, but is not especially common in nature. However, because of the ease with which they may be obtained and kept in the lab, they are common objects of study, both as representative protozoa and to demonstrate cell structure and function. The cells have several lobose pseudopods, with one large tubular pseudopod at the anterior and several secondary ones branching to the sides. The most famous species, A. proteus, is 700-800 μm in length, but many others are much smaller. Each has a single nucleus, and a simple contractile vacuole which maintains its osmotic pressure, as its most recognizable features.

I am not cutting and pasting the charts.

That's a very broad question.  Here's a short summary that can be added to:\n1.  Deserts\n2.  Mountains\n3.  Valleys\n4.  Savannas\n5.  Islands\n6.  Atolls\n7.  Hills\n8.  Caverns\n9.  Outcrops\n10. Glaciers

1. Coral reefs:\nThere are many types of algae that live inside and outside corals. \nMainly Caulerpa and Corallina species, and many more are named there:\nhttp://www.com.univ-mrs.fr/IRD/atollpol/ecorecat/ukalgrec.htm\n\nInside coral polyps themselves, there are symbiotic microscopic algae. Their common name is "zooxanthellae", but they are in fact multiple species of Dinoflagellata:\nhttp://www.marinebiology.org/coralbleaching.htm\n\n2. Tropical algae: again, far too many to list.\nLook around the Seaweed Site, and pick ones that grow in tropics. http://www.seaweed.ie/\n\n3. Besides algae, there are seagrasses (flowering plants living in the ocean):\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagrass

I quote (source below):\n\nUntil the year 2000, there were four recognized oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. In the Spring of 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization delimited a new ocean, the Southern Ocean (it surrounds Antarctica and extends to 60 degrees latitude).
