Overview
1. Where is your wetland located, and when did you make your visit? (select a location in the everglades of your choice, be as specific as possible)
2. Describe the physical characteristics of the site using introductory knowledge of wetlands. In particular, make notes about the three main components of a wetland (water, soils, and biota) based on what you observed.
3. Describe the geomorphology of the surrounding area. In other words, describe the surrounding terrain or physical landscape. How do you think geomorphology influences your wetland?
4. Describe the climate of your area. In other words, what is the typical weather pattern for the area? How do you think those climate features influence the wetland?
5. How do you think the wetland influences the surrounding environment? What benefits do you think it may provide to the surrounding landscape?
