water bodies:
The most important water bodies in the USA is the Pacific ocean. There are lakes like the great lakes they are half in Ontario and half in The USA or lakes like Crater lake in Asleep volcanoes.

Ground:
There is deserts: Deserts in the southwest area's of the united states are areas of extreme heat and dryness like the one that has all those casinoe's. In scintific terms they are called Arid regions. there is also volcanic: Though few people in the United States may actually feel a massive eruption from a volcano there are signs of early volcanism.

toundra: Tundra's are virtually treeless is that not amazing

and icy grounds in USA. These grounds are mostly in Alaska

Wild life:
I am going to do the Eagle because it is the national bird of the USA

= = There one type of eagle that I am going to tell you about 1. The bald eagle it is in the three pictures

The Bald eagle
The Bald Eagle is the only actual eagle that lives in North America not the only eagle there is probablly more kept in captivity but the Bald Eagle is the only one that is here natrully. The scintific term for Bald Eagle is Sea Eagle with a White head. At one point in time the word "bald" meant white not hairless. The Bald Eagle can be found from Alaska to the northern parts of Mexico. Did you now that half of the worlds yes the Worlds 70,000 Bald Eagles live in Alaska thas 35,000. The north west coast is the biggest stronghold for the Bald Eagle. So next time your on the coast don't be supprized to see a Bald Eagle. =Subtopic #3: How your country is part of the "Ring of Fire":= = =

Food:
The ancient hawaiins main source of protein came from fish, squid, limpet, crab and other seafood, chicken, pigs and birds. the main leafy vegetables were taro tops funny name. They also ate other things like tree fern and fan palm. Here are some fruits that the ancient hawaiins ate banana's and coconuts and berries such as the rasberry and the strawberry and don't forget mountain apples they must have hiked high up to get them and finnaly sugar cane. The last one is Sugar Cane.

Transportation:
The cheepest way to get around the big 50 is to get a shuttle not the one that blasts off but rather the one that drives around. You could always just rent a car and then you get to see the true hawaii right now I sound like I am a travel agent that is where I got this information from. == On Oahu take the bus it is enviromentilly freindly and they have an excellent public transportation system.  You could also on Oahu take the Waikiki Trolley which makes stops at key places. You could always take the "Expeditions" ferry from Maui to Lanai. =Resources:= http://www.united-states-map.com/usa-map.gif http://www.toursaver.com/images/toursaver.com/Image/detailed-map-of-alaska.jpg http://www .california-map.org/california-road-map.gif http://cms.skidmore.edu/anthropology/spark/images/sparp01.gif http://www.jud.ct.gov/directory/maps/Juv/JuvMap4-nonumbers.gif http://www.capitolimpact.com/gw/maps/de.gif http://countrystudies.us/united-states/geography-1.htm http://www.hawaii.maps-pacific.com/map/Hawaii-Islands.gif http://www.capitolimpact.com/gw/maps/id.gif http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_latitude_and_longitude_of_Washington_DC [] [|http://www.hawaiilogue.com/active-volcanoes-in-hawaii.html] = = [|[[http://www.gadling.com/2007/07/16/national-animals-from-around-the-world/] ]] [|http://www.baldeagleinfo.com/] = = [|[[http://gohawaii.about.com/cs/travelplanner/ht/get_around.htm] ]] media type="surveygizmo" key="A7L8P6IFVTO7UNJYO31L5153805EM1-110771" width="700" height="500" by: NICOLAS,YASIR and VIRGILE
