This is a picture of the Boston Harbor, and is a part of the neritic zone. The coordinates are 42.33 degrees North and 70.98 degrees West. I got this picture fromhttp://bostoneventplanning.corinthianevents.com/category/boston-harbor-islands/.



This is a picture of Charles River. The approximate coordinates are 42.19 degrees North and 71.51 degrees West. I found this picture at http://www.travelmuse.com/articles/college-visits/boston-guide.


This is an image of the Sahara Desert. The coordinates for the Sahara Desert are 29 degrees North and 7 degrees West. I got this picture at http://travelandtourismtoday.blogspot.com/2011/05/sahara-desert-hottest-desert-in-world.html.

This is the temperate forest in my backyard, 116 Upton Road, Westborough, MA.

This is Lake Michigan, which has to coordinates 44 degrees North, and 87 degrees West. You can also see the tip of Chicago in this picture.

  1. Iris, The river, desert, temperate forest and Lake are all ok. The ocean is too vague of a term. This is a specific subset of an ocean. Use your book for the reference to see its name...

  2. Would it instead be called the marine benthic zone?

  3. Benthic is the bottom of the ocean. Lobsters live in the benthic zone...

  4. then the neritic zone because it is more costal?
