• Freshwater is defined to have low salt
  concentration,usally less than 1 percent.here is
  a picture of a freshwater region.

plants and animals that live in freshwater regions

• plants and animals in freshwater regions are
  adjusted to the low salt content and if the
  animals were to survive in a high salt content
  they could not survive in the area.certain
  animals live in freshwater regions such as
  birds,fish,insects,snakes,beavers
  ,otters,sharks,seahorses and ducks.

Freshwater regions

• there are different freshwater regions such as
  ponds and lakes,streams and rivers and
  wetlands.here are some pictures

Ponds and lakes

• These regions range in size from just a few
  square meters to thousands of square
  kilometers.scatterd throughout the earth,several
  are remnants from the Pleistocene glaciation.many
  ponds and lakes are seasonal,lasting just a
  couple of months.

5
Streams and rivers

• These are bodies of flowing water moving in one
  direction.streams and rivers can be found
  anywhere they get their starts at
  headwaters,which may be springs,sn0wmelt or even
  lakes,and then travel all the way to their mouths.

6
Wetlands

• wetlands are areas of standing water that support
  aquatic plants.marshes,swamps and bogs are all
  considered wetlands.plant species adapted to the
  very moist and humid conditions are called
  hyphohydrates.these include pond
  lilies,cattails,sedges,tamarack and black spruce.

7
temperature

• summer from 22C 4C and in winter from 4C
  0C. In the spring and fall, the top and bottom
  layers mix and then the average temperature is
  4C.

8
climate

• In different freshwater regions the climate is
  different in different regions such as northern
  Canada and south america.
