** Fresh Water **
 * Fresh water is a natural source or body of water that has biotic (living things) in it. Fresh water can be found in rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, wetlands and glaci****ers. The fresh water biome's climate, weather and seasonal changes are effected by the other biom****es around it or close to it. Plants that tend to live or grow around include algae, cattail****s, brine-strike, deerflower, swamp found tamarack, myrtle, pond** **lilies,sedgeg, false ivy** **and daytoms. Small ponds stay the same temperature from bottom to top. Only 0.3% of the Earth's water is fresh water. Lakes usually differ in temperatures. The top in summer is usually between about 19-25 degrees. The middle is usually between about 8-19 degrees. the bottom of the pond usually ranges from about 4-8 degrees. Lakes and pond are divided** **into 3 groups depending on depth and distance from the shoreline. Animals play a big part in this ecosystem like any other. Here are a few of the anim****als frogs, fish, turtle, platypus,** **crocodiles, hippopotamus, snakes,** **ducks, river rats, shrimp and** **crayfish. Us as people are bad for this biome we don't take care of the animals, plants, and all living things. We dump trash in our fresh water resources in turn polluting our fresh water. In another turn we don't have drinking water or fish to eat which is a large part of the meat that the world produces.**
