What is the climate in the pelagic biome?

The pelagic biome, which encompasses the open ocean, is characterized by a vast expanse of water that covers about 70% of the Earth's surface. Its climate varies greatly depending on latitude and ocean currents, with warmer temperatures in tropical regions and cooler temperatures in polar areas. Generally, the pelagic zone experiences less temperature fluctuation compared to terrestrial environments, and it is affected by factors such as oceanic currents, wind patterns, and seasonal changes. Nutrient availability and light penetration also influence the biological productivity within this biome.
