Question while you wait:

Page 9: Miami – Dade Teacher Training 2013

A wetland is…. Wetland habitats vary depending on biotic

and abiotic factors What biotic and abiotic factors would make

these wetlands different: A freshwater wetland A mangrove wetland

Florida Wetlands

Page 10: Miami – Dade Teacher Training 2013

A freshwater wetland Abiotic:

Tannins Silt, clay, other sediment Karst

Biotic: Cypress trees Tape grass Alligators Oaks

Florida Wetlands

A mangrove wetland Abiotic:

Salt Sand

Biotic: Mangroves (3 kinds) Barnacles Estuary animals Oysters

Page 11: Miami – Dade Teacher Training 2013

Were there dinosaurs in Florida? Sea animals left bones, shells, exoskeletons Compressed over thousands/millions of

years, became limestone Clay from mountains washed down Erosion created sand

Florida’s Geologic History

Page 12: Miami – Dade Teacher Training 2013

Aquifer

These layers created the Floridan Aquifer One of the most productive aquifers in

the world Underlies southern Alabama, south-

eastern Georgia, southern South Carolina, and all of Florida; total of about 100,000 miles

Page 13: Miami – Dade Teacher Training 2013

The layers of the aquifer clean water Provides water for us:

Water withdrawals for public supply in Florida in 2005 totaled 2,541 Mgal/d. Ground water supplied 2,201 Mgal/d (87 percent) and surface water supplied nearly 340 Mgal/d (13 percent). (http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2008/3080/)

Importance of the Aquifer

Page 14: Miami – Dade Teacher Training 2013

Any land that water touches on its way to a water body.

Everyone and everything is part of a watershed.

Where does your school’s watershed drain to?

Watershed

Page 15: Miami – Dade Teacher Training 2013

Public supply (52 percent) and agricultural irrigation (31 percent) used the largest volumes of fresh ground water in 2005, followed by commercial-industrial-mining self-supplied (8.5 percent), domestic self-supplied (4 percent), recreational irrigation (4 percent), and power generation (0.5 percent). (http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2008/3080/)

Water usage

Page 16: Miami – Dade Teacher Training 2013

There is no new water The smallest changes can equal large

savings

Water Conservation

Page 17: Miami – Dade Teacher Training 2013

Is more than evaporation, precipitation and condensation.

Every living thing on the planet is a potential part of the water cycle.

The water cycle cleans and recycles ALL the water on the planet.
