Climate:
Freshwater Biomes are located all around the world in bodies of water such as lakes, ponds, stream, wetlands, and rivers. The axis of the earth does not affect the climate of the Freshwater biome. The climate of freshwater biomes is determined by factors including location, season, depth of water, and the temperature of water.
Precipitation and temperatures are also dependent on the region the biome is located in. Many of the world’s wetlands are located in temperate zones, so they will have warmer temperatures and greater precipitation. Lakes and rivers located in mountains and valleys may have lower temperatures and less precipitation.
On average temperatures range from 65 °F to 75 °F in the summer and
35 °F to 45 °F in the winter. On average the temperatures will decline as the water gets deeper and the less movement of the water.
Some natural occurrences that occur in the Freshwater biome are hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis. None of these actually characterize the freshwater biome, but are relevant to the biomes natural disasters.
