  1. Freshwater Biome Project By: Casey Miozzi and David Fiederer

  2. Location • Freshwater refers to lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, and bottles of water. • Freshwater counts for nearly 1% of all the water on the planet Earth. • You can find freshwater almost anywhere, excluding deserts and oceans. http://www.thewildclassroom.com/biomes/FRESHWATER.html

  3. Abiotic Factors • Climate: Its water. Figure it out. • Average Rainfall: See Climate. • Average High-Low Temp.: Can range from 4 degrees Celsius at the bottom and 22 degrees Celsius at the top. The temperature of the water will always be 4 degrees Celsius during Winters. • Seasonal Changes: During Winters most Freshwater can freeze over due to the decrease of temperature in the atmosphere due to the tilt of the Earth on its Axis at 23 degrees in either direction depending on the location of the Freshwater while rotating around a star known formally as the sun. http://www.thewildclassroom.com/biomes/FRESHWATER.html

  4. Organisms Within Biome The Amazon River In the Portuguese speaking country named the Federative Republic of Brazil • River Dolphin • Arowana

  5. “Boto” (Amazon River Dolphin)Iniageoffrensis • Adaptations: fused vertebrae in its neck- To catch fish more easily, a fluke on it’s back- For increased mobility in shallow water, and echolocation- For finding prey and avoiding objects.

  6. “Dragon Fish” (Arowana) Osteoglossumbicirrhosum • Adaptations: draw-bridge-like mouth- To easily swallow prey, relatively large scales- For protection against predators, and a tapered tail- To jump out of the water. Can cost thousands of dollars
