I nominate the Dead Sea as one of the seven natures wonders of the world. The Dead Sea which is located between Jordan and Palastine is the lowest spot on earth. The water is extremly salty that no fish or any kind of sea creatures live in it. The mud taken from it can be used to cure certain deseases. I went to the Dead Sea and saw how anyone can float in the sea and even read a book while relaxing. The Dead Sea is also considered important to all divine religions. I think it is one of the best places on earth.
This is going to be fun!
The island I think should be one of the seven wonders list is Jejudo island.
I pickedJejudo island because the island is a beautiful, open space, fresh air island. Did I mention it’s a volcano?
Jejudo island is located in South Korea.
FUN FACT
People carved the volcano rocks they found around the island into statues.
We have to save our planet by keeping it clean. The earth is made of land and water. Over our planet is space and then the galaxy. Around the earth is something called a “green house”. After the green house there is another kind of gas. The gas lets heat from the sun in and out but the green house thats around the earth lets heat in but not out. Its the only reason that global warming is about to happen. So we have to stop littering and start to recycle. The world is a beautiful place and we need to keep it like that.
Angel Falls
Angel Falls is the world’s biggest waterfall,with a height of 979 m(3,212 feet) and a plunge of 807 m(2,647)!It is located in the Canaima National Park in the Gran Sabana region of Bolivar State,Venezuela.Angel Falls is named after the aviator Jimmie Angel who crash landed his plane on top of Auyan tepui(a table-top mountain).The hight of the falls is so big that before you get anywhere near the floor the water is smashed by the strong winds and turned into mist.That mist can be felt a mile away.The floor of the falls feed into the Kerep river which flows in to another river called the Churun river.Angel Falls is one of Venezuela’s top attraction.That is why I think Angel Falls should be one of the seven wonders of the world.
I think The Amazon Rainforest should be in the top seven because it was the one that seemed most important to the environment. The Amazon rain forest is so big, it is a part of nine different countries and represents more than half of all the world‘s rainforest. Also one in ten known species in the world live in the Amazon. There are lots of animals living in the Amazon like 2.5 million types of insects, at least 40,000 types of plants 3,000 types of fish, and 1,294 types of birds (according to Wikipedia). By being in the top seven, people will be reminded of how important The Amazon Rainforest is.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Dead Sea xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I chose the dead sea because i think it so cool that there is so much salt in the water that you can float!
I’ve all ways wanted to viset the dead sea and think it is the coolest place ever when i’ve never been there.Did you know that there is so much salt thatyou can float on the water while reading a book.Thats amazing!I wish that one day I will be able to go there.
OH MY GOD IM TELLING YOU BOB,ITS SO DEEP
I like the grand canyon as one of the wonders of the earth because it is 6000 feet down!Such a good view if you’re standing at the top and looking down,but don’t lean too much to take a picture,or you’ll experience 6000 pure awesomeness and when it’s over you won’t feel your pulse anymore.The Grand Canyon is the best site in the world,enjoy it before it’s gone forever!
The Dead Sea
I chose the dead see because in the dead sea there is so much salt that you can float. It is so cool because you can float on the water while reading a book !It also has 8.6 more salt then the ocean! the dead sea is also the lowest place on earth ,roughly 1,300 feet below the sea level.
Dead Sea
They should make the dead sea one of the seven wonders of the world because it is the only sea that animals cannot grow or live in. and is one of the worlds first health resorts because of its salty waters. it is very amazing. Thats why i think it should be one of the seven wonders of the world.
Wow this assignment is awesome!!!
The great AMAZON!
The amazon I think should be recognized for it’s beutey and all of these other reasons.
Another name for the Amazon is the Amazonia the island you say is the amazon is actually
named the Amazonia how cool is that??Ya not that cool to me actually!!
Anyways the Amazonia is the length of 1.7 billion acers!!And the forest itself is 5.5 mil!

I ‘m not entirely sure what to do…so I am just going to talk about my favourite natural wonder.
§☼GREAT BARRIER REEF☼§
Great Barrier Reef is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The 3,000 reefs and 900 islands can be seen from the moon. This reef is the worlds largest reef, and the largest structure made out of living creatures, stretching over an area of 344,400km. Great Barrier Reef is home to thousands of fish, coral polyps, mammals, and aquatic invertebrates. 30 species of whales live in this massive reef, along with a large population of dugongs, 40 types of seabirds, 6 kinds of sea turtles, 14 species of sea snakes, 1,500 types of tropical fish including clown anemone fish, red bass, whale shark, coral trout and seahorses, 5,000 kinds of mollusks, 400 species of coral, 30 types of sea grass, and 500 kinds of algae.
Many tourists visit this reef for sight-seeing, and to meet all the different types of amazing critters. Great Barrier Reef deserves to be recognized as a natural wonder.
Dead Sea
dont let the name creep you out. i think the dead sea should be one of the seven wonders of the world becuase of its amazing facts like it the only sea in the world where animals cannot live or grow.
and it was one of the worlds first health resorts. amazing right? thats why i think the dead sea will be one of the seven wonders of the world
Komodo national Park!
We should Make Komodo National Park one of the seven Wonders of the world because of many reasons! Firstly the park keepers are trying to protect animals from becoming extinct like komodo dragon and marine animals. A fact is that there are three islands named koodo rinca and padar. There are made from volcanic orgins. Secondly If we dont make it one of the seven wonders of the world pochers and fishermen will kill the animals and soon all the animals will be gone. The pochers shoot the animals and the fishermen will fish out of the lake that is illegal. So make the nainal komodo park one of the seven wonders of the world!
I think that the Grand Canyon definitely deserves to be a Wonder of the World. I think this because it looks as though it is an amazing and beautiful place. Millions of visitors go to the Grand Canyon every year to see the scenery. It was created when over many, many years the river cut away at the rock. It shows the many layers. You can see many colours and it is considered to be one of the most beautiful spots for scenery. They even built a glass floor viewing path for people to pay and experience the enormous size and depth. It is a perfect example of nature’s work.
The Dead Sea makes people feel more alive and refreshed after visiting it. I think it should be one of the Seven Wonders of the World, because “The Dead Sea” has so many minerals in the water that it can cure a lot of skin related problems such as eczema and other types of medical problems such as athlete’s foot and arthritis. “The Dead Sea” is shared by Jordon and Israel, the northern half of the sea belongs to Jordon and the southern half is part of Israel. This sea has the highest salt concentration of 33%, all the oceans have a salt concentration of only 3%, and “Utah’s Great Lake” has 22%. The sea is known by different names other than “The Dead Sea.” It’s known as “The Salt Sea,” “The Sea of Arabah,” “The Eastern Sea” and “The Sea of Lot.” This sea has a lot of interesting facts including that its banks are the world’s lowest point of dry land; it is four hundred meters below sea level. Knowing all these cool things about “The Dead Sea” I would definitely want it to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
dead sea this should be in the top 7 because it is the most saltest sea on eath.Also it is so salte that fish can’t live in it. Also people think that mud from the dead helps you heal and has cosmetic uses. and it is so salte that people can flolt in the water.
When I went on the website http://www.vote7.com I chose what I think the top “7 Natures wonders of the world” are, Amazon, Dead Sea, Galapgos, Jeju Island, Kamodo, Mud Volcanoes, and Vesuvius. I chose those top “7 Natures wonders of the world” because, when I saw the pictures it made me think that those were old and legendary places.It also made me think that we should care more for it because it is getting old.
My wonder of the world would be the grand canyon,
because it has a amazing scenery, and a amazing landscape to paint a picture with. The Grand Canyon is amazing because the carvings you see were made of many years of snow and rain. Its also famous because its the only thing in the world thats been carved by water erosen. It also became a National Park in 1919 to preserves it features. Its also a amazing example of arid-land erosion on earth. Thats why I think the Grand Canyon is my wonder of the world!!
I think the Dead sea should be one of the top 7 because it is the most saltest sea in the world. It also speards over Palestine,Israel and Jordan! ALso its so salty people can float in the water. And the Dead Seas shore is the lowest point on earth and the Dead Sea is very old, tourists use to come to the Dead Sea in 1960. And the Dead Sea is 8.6 time saltier than a ocean and thats alot of salt!!
