**Have you ever thought of what Earth looks like in outer space? From outer space, Earth looks like its covered with veins and arteries because those are rivers and streams and ponds and lakes, or as we like too call it, FRESH WATER!** __**Ecosystems **__ __**Ponds **__**: A pond is a shallow hole where water collects. Some plants grow around the pond. The temperature of the water is simular at the surface and at the bottom of the pond. Some are seasonal, some are not. Ponds do NOT have waves. **
 * __Lakes__: Lakes are usually bigger than a pond. Plants only grow along the shore line because it's too deep to go any farther. Sometimes there are waves on the shore. More water reatures live in the warmer parts of the lake. **

**﻿ ** ﻿ __streams and rivers:__ streams are strips of water
