Definitions:
Biotic: Meaning of or related to life. Biotic represents living organisms (living factors of a habitat)
Abiotic: The opposite of Biotic, not alive/factors that are not alive. Type of habitat or the weather are Abiotic factors.
Biome: A distinct group of living organisms and the habitat they are naturally found in.
Ecosystem: A functioning unit (system) of nature made up of Biotic and Abiotic factors. Each factor depends on the other to keep a balance in the ecological community. If one factor disappears, the whole system is affected.

Facts- Great White Shark
The Great White Shark is an oceanic creature, therefore it's habitat is an Aquatic Biome. The Aquatic Biome can be split in half for it covers two different sections; Freshwater and Marine.
A Marine Biome is any ocean, coral reef or estuary. It covers 75% of the Earth's surface (I wonder why we call it Earth?) and is host to thousands of species that contribute to all life on Earth. The Marine Biome is split into sections; Ocean, Coral Reef and Estuary. The Great White Shark lives in the Ocean zone, and the Ocean zone an be divided into more sections. The one section that applies to the Great White is the Intertidal zone, where the water meets land. Sharks travel and stay close to the coast which is the intertidal zone.
