Notes: clear water is more rare than we realise.the water is a non stopping cycle,water can be liquid solid and gas.clouds form into eachother to make greyer more dense cloud.lakes are very small compared the seas and oceans.the minerals from the land that the water picks up on its travel to the sea is what makes the seas and oceans salty.

=The water cycle= the water cycle is a non stopping cycle that gives our earth the neutriance it needs to survive.

the water cycle is when the water from the ocean rises up into the sky creating a cloud which forms with other clouds to make big grey dense clouds.Then it will rain the trickles will go down the hills building up to creek picking up minerals while it goes.After a while the trickles forming a river which is still picking up minerals until it forms to a like or the ocean and thats when the cycle starts over again.

the water cycle is what has been keeping this earth for thousands of years and will continue onward for many more years.

=Longfin eel=

where does it live? The adult Longfin lives in the large shaded pools of rivers or in forest swamps.the young actually spend their lie moving around the stream till it finds its home.The Longfin like shadey spots or any where with a bank maybe. These are all the places are long finn eel lives. New Guinea, eastern Australia (including Tasmania), Lord Howe Island, and New Caledonia.The long finn eel was a native of New Guinea.Long finn eels usually live in

What does it look like? A long finn eel has black blotches all over it except for its tummy and all the same as the short finn eel except that anal and the dorsal finn are shorter than the long finn eels anal and dorsal finn.Long finn eels can grow up to 2 meters foe a male and 1.58 meters for a female and they weigh up to 20kg and live up to 100 years.The kingdom of the long finn eel is Animalia and the phylum is Chordata and the Class is Actinopterygii and the order is Anguilliformes and the family is Anguilla and the species is A. reinhardtii and the bionomial name is Anguilla reinhardtii.

The life cycle the lifecycle of the longfin eel begins in a swamp forest near to the stream then the small leaf like Larvae spill out into the stream and move up-stream to the estuaries where it then becomes a glass eel for a short period of it’s life soonly after that it becomes an adult where is will find a calm deep shaded piece of water to live in then once it gets older it will swim to tonga, lay millions of eggs and then it will die.

Long-finned eels are carnivorous, eating crustaceans, snails, frogs, mollusks, insect larvae, and fish — including elvers and native trout.

Human impacts The human impact on most streams in horrible most of our streams or creek’s rum through farmlands which will most likely mean animals have been doing things in the water which willleave it muddy,low clarity, high temperature and the deaths of many fish or aquatic animals.We are also making the banks erode from our constant deforestation,it has also caused the stream-beds to become sediment and dirty.The water is also becoming fulled with algae causing there to be less oxygen in the water.

Breathing The longfin eel breathe through some small gills right behind his dorsal fin.The only difference in the normal eel’s and longfin eel’s is the suprising size difference in the size of the dorsal fin.

kaitiaki as a kaitiaki we can stop all major deforestation near to animal filled rivers and streams.Farmers can also help by maybe fencing off the streams going through their land so the farm animals do not dirty up the stream we can also cut down on our pollution and the clarity will increase and the temperature will decrease.
