What kind of aquatic environments are there?
There are two kinds of aquatic environments, which can sustain life. These are saltwater life zones and freshwater life zones. The major types of organisms found in aquatic environments are determined by the salinity of the water. Salinity means the amounts of salts dissolved in a volume of water. That is why aquatic life zones are divided up between saltwater life zones and freshwater life zones. An example of a saltwater or marine life zone is a coral reef. An example of a freshwater life zone is a lake.
