Temperature varies in ponds and lakes seasonally. During the summer can range from 4 Degrees Celsius near the bottom and 22 Degrees Celsius at the top. During winter the bottom can be 4 degrees Celsius while the top can be 0 Degrees Celsius (freezing) in spring and fall, there will be a mix of temperatures on the top and bottom layers, between the 2 layers there is a narrow zone called the thermocline where the temperatures of the water changes rapidly. Freshwater Biomes are found all around the world. They have many seasons. A single pond during the summer season could be up to 39 degrees Fahrenheit on the top. This same pond could be 39 degrees Fahrenheit on the bottom and 32 Degrees Fahrenheit on top on the winter season. The climate usually average 39 degrees Fahrenheit to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
