BRAINSTORM What makes up an environment?

WHERE AM I?

I am not easily seen from places above me, but you can see my colours, blue and green from the surface when you look at me. There isn’t a lot of air in my environment so you need special tanks to have a short visit.

WHERE AM I?

I attract many tourists with my buzzing city filled with yellow cabs, broadway, the land of opportunity. I am always filled with people walking past my high rise buildings and my beautiful big park that looks over upper east side, Manhatten. I even have a great big statue on my harbour.

WHERE AM I?

I love a sunburnt country,A land of sweeping plains,Of ragged mountain ranges,Of droughts and flooding rains.I love her far horizons,I love her jewel-sea,Her beauty and her terror The wide brown land for me!
