THE EVERGLADES
BY RYNE V. & TENNIE T.
The Everglades The everglades are an
open field covered with saw grass, trees, rivers, & wild life. The Everglades is a special place to a lot people and is a great tour spot. I suggest that if you want to take a family vacation you should go here and take a lot of film!
Everglades Wildlife The Everglades wildlife
is the most treasured part of the everglades. It is what attracts most tourist. They are know to have some of the most rarest and endangered birds.
The KOE Water SystemThe KOE water system means
Kissimmee Okeechobee River and Everglades. The
KOE water system starts as evaporation and then does
condensation. Then the clouds goes to the
Kissimmee River and then precipitates. After that the
water flows threw the Kissimmee River and in to
the Lake Okeechobee. Then it flows threw the
Everglades and into the Key West where the high winds are and evaporates all over
again.
Natural HabitatsSaw grass and trees are the
natural habitats of many animals in the everglades. Saw grass is the home of many alligators, bugs, & prey. Trees are homes to most alligators, birds, & some panthers. Saw grass is the way most animals can hide from & hunt their prey.
