As they blow, they whip up waves that endlessly crash into the land. No two stretches of shore are the same. Each is shaped by many variable factors, the tides, wind, water currents, temperature, climate, and the types of rock from which the land is made. Along each shore a group of highly adapted plants and animals, many of them strange to our land, make their homes. There are many types of life in the oceans and other marine biomes.
Some major animals are sharks, fish, and whales.
There are many individual species in each of the categories. Such as blue whales, salmon, and great white sharks. Many fish have adapted in special ways for self-defense. For example cuttlefish have different colored pigments and rapidly changing colors to escape predators. Many sea animals find shelter among the seaweeds, in rocky crevices, or under the sand.
