**Location:** Estuaries can be found along any ocean, but vary in name and structure.An example is the Chespeake Bay which is the largest estuary in the United States. Another example is the Delaware Bay, this bay is bordered by the state of New Jersey and Delaware . **Climate:** Seasonal cycles cause change in estuaries by bringing varying amounts of rainfall, changing temperatures, and sunlight. In some parts of the U.S. spring brings much rain. Summer brings hot and dry spells which can cause parts of the estuary to become still and stagnant which causes high temperatures. In northern Estuaries winter can bring ice sheets that shape estuaries. The Average preipitation for Winter is 8.5725cm, Summers is 5.926cm, and Springs is 8.212cm. The Average temperature for Winter is 5.6 degrees celcius, Summers is 16.6 degrees celcius, and springs is 11.3 degrees celcius.
