Mangrove Wetland

The Mangrove Wetland is found in Florida, USA, It has many animals such as Muskrats, Deer’s, Birds and also fish. This environment looks very lush because it has many trees and shrubs mainly tropical plants. It also has lots of water with lily pads covering the entire pond with wild life such as frogs living on them. The water is very cold because all the hot air rises and keeps the cool air inside the water. Some of the shrubs are very rough due to different changes in the weather such as storms and other natural things. When I went there I could here frogs croaking and the wind brushing up against the trees and shrubs it was a very nice atmosphere. People would interact well with this environment because there is plenty of water, fresh air and lots of nice, green grass to sit or rest on.


Siberian Tundra

The Siberian Tundra is located in the northern hemisphere near continents such as Europe and Asia. Tundra very dry in some spots but everywhere else is filled with puddles of water. There are mountains with very white snow sitting up the top from the past winter or from winter starting. The ground is very damp with lots of mud and clean white flaky snow on the mountains. When I first went there I fell over and the brown grass that was on the ground was very rough. The Tundra is 1000 to 4000 feet above sea level which is very, very big. The wind is very strong in winter because it snows nearly every day which makes it extra cold for us. When I fell over I yelled out because I was hurt and I heard my echo over all the mountain side. People wouldn't interact well with this environment because it is very cold and there is no food close by so in maybe a week you would die, luckily I brought food with me!

The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is located on coast in Queensland north of Brisbane where lots of things there are tropical such as plants. People think that the Reef is a under water walkway with all the rocks and coral making it look like a path. The Great Barrier Reef has crystal clear water with wild life swimming around in it such as turtles and reef sharks. The Coral has all different colours from blue to red to green; the sand is light brown with the water glimmering over it. When I went snorkelling I crept into the water it was very cold but as I swam it got warmer and warmer, the sand is very smooth with fish sitting on the bottom. I didn't want to touch the coral but I bumped into it and it hurt so much because it is so rough but in the end I was ok. When I got out of the water I heard people laughing and having a good time sitting on the jetty with the waves crashing under them. People interact well with this environment because you are perfectly safe with everything around you and there is plenty of food shops near by if you get a bit hungry, I know I sure did!

The Gold Coast



The Gold Coast has the best beaches in Australia with crashing waves towering over you as you swim. The Gold coast looks very nice because there are stores all along the the side walks with pancake stores and ice cream stores. You can see the waves and the beach just on the other side of the road. The gold coast feels alive with nice people good food and when your really hot you get a nice cold breeze coming from every direction. When i came there i heard waves crashing people cheering having a fun time, the waves crashing on the beaches, people enjoying them selves it was great. I think the gold coast is one of the best places i have visited because it is truly amazing. I suggest all of you go to the gold coast book a hotel and have fun. The People Interact well in the gold coast because it is a nice atmosphere with nice food to eat, water to drink and hotels and motels to stay at and sleep.
