Biome Homework
1. Freshwater
2. The Freshwater Biome is water that has a low salt concentration – usually the salt concentration percentage is less than 1%. There are many types of freshwater regions: Ponds and Lakes, Streams and Rivers, and also Wetlands. In the Freshwater biome the biome contains both biotic and abiotic factors.
Biotic Factors in the Freshwater Biome:
- Fish
- Algae
- Coral
Abiotic Factors in the Freshwater Biome:
- Rocks
- Water
- Temperature

One solution could be for you to put up more signs or go to the government and ask them to put up signs saying that if they trash the biome then they’ll have to pay a fine. Another solution could be to get people to volunteer to clean up the biome and to keep it fresh at all times.

It talked about how almost 3 % of earth’s water now is fresh and the water that is fresh is mostly locked up in glaciers. Also the article talked about how freshwater biomes provides habitat for more than 10 % of known animals and about one third of all known vertebrate species. And finally the article talked about what services it gave to the world, and the services listed were; drinking water,...
