How Land and Water Works By Brooke Craft and Alazain Angotti

People adapt to their surroundings. People can learn how to be warm if they live in cold areas.

There are four oceans in the world they are the Atlantic ocean, the Pacific ocean, the Arctic, and the Indian ocean. The United States is bordered by the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific ocean.

Before there were any roads, rivers were used for getting around. People moved far away from towns with rivers.

Thousands of years ago, large pieces of ice called glaciers moved really slow across the Earth. The glaciers made holes that filled with water from rain or melting ice to make lakes.

The air at the top of mountains its colder than the air below, so many mountaintops are covered with snow when it rains. As the temperature changes, snow melts and runs down the mountain into the streams and rivers and makes water.

Some people can live on islands. Islands can be on lakes, rivers, or oceans.

All places have cultures with customs and traditions related to the environment around them. Each environment affects the types of things: For example, flowers grow in the mountains and cactuses grow in the desert.

Lakes and rivers are used for drinking and water, and cooking, and washing. Fishing is used for food for many people around the whole entire world.

Wherever you live your connected to the environment. People live in different environments.

The Nile River in Egypt is the world’s longest river, but the Amazon River in Brazil moves the most water. The world’s largest fresh water lake is Lake Baikal in Russia.
