A rainforest is a sweltering, thick jungle that gets a lot of rain. Many plants and animal species live there. Most rainforests are located around the equator and near the tropics hence the name tropical rainforest. Rainforests are very important to the earth. They help to purify and clean the air that we breathe. Some of the resources we get from rainforests include chocolate, sugar, cinnamon, paper ,timber and medicine. Deforestation is a serious issue in nature today mostly because loggers our cutting down our air supply and farmers are burning down trees for more and more land. Most of them act illegally, but they should be aware that they are hurting themselves also Some people have been cutting down the trees to sell the wood and make room for farms. When the trees are cut down, many plants and animals die. Because rainforests are so…
Rainforests are something often associated with conservation. Save the Rainforest! Earth First!, a well-known environmental defense [aka: ecosaboteur] group, has a history with this particular area. On one particular peaceful attack against Brazil's deforestation, this was written: "There was evidence, denied by Earth First!, of traditional monkey-wrenching tactics..." (Google Books).…
The great biodiversity in the tropical rainforest is most probably contributed to the fact that it has a good amount of rainfall and it also has dry seasons. This results in the optimal climate for many different species to thrive and successfully reproduce.…
A biome is a large, distinctive, complex community of plants and animals in a region maintained by climate. There are different types of biomes including tundra, taiga, deciduous forest, scrub forest, grasslands, desert and rain forest. Scientists disagree on the exact number of biomes in the world.…
Hi my name is Agent Zeek , Im a vacation travel agent, my job is to make presentation and advertise different travel packages and to promote different part of the world. During the past few weeks i been traveling to different part of the world, and the most spatacular place that caught my attention was the tropical rain forest.Tropical rainforests cover about 6% of the Earth's total land surface. They are mainly located around the belt at the equator. The climate of the rainforest is warm most of the year and has a lot of rain through most of the year. The climate is perfect for animals and plant growth. Even though the rainforests cover such a little amount of land mass of the Earth, they are home to the largest number of plant and animal species in such a concentrated area.…
Rainforests are important as they are home to the most diverse biotic communities. Rainforests also help to prevent soil erosion, as nutrients that are stored in the vast number of trees and plants rather than in the soil. The biggest key factors of rainforests are that they help reduce the effects of worldwide climate change.…
1. Madagascar biome is a tropical rain forest. The main characteristic of a tropical rain forest biome is the presence of Warm temperatures throughout the year. In a tropical rain forest biome, there are three layers. These layers include the top trees, followed by the canopy layer characterized by dens leaves hence low light penetration and the third layer are the ground layer. The ground layer lacks any vegetation owing to the low amount of sunlight reaching it due to the dense canopy layer.…
There are a number of different adaptations that vegetation in rainforests has made in order to adjust to the climate.…
The Rainforest’s global impact is severe because of its incredible size. It has the potential to change the climate, including precipitation patters and air concentrations. If mankind wants to improve, or at least stop degrading the rainforest, we should ban logging and start to replant and rebuild the…
There are many ways in which the rainforest is exploited. Many of these ways are damaging to the environment.…
The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome found near Earth's equator. The World's largest tropical rainforests are in South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Tropical rainforests receive from 60 to 160 inches of precipitation that is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. Tropical Rainforest: Animals…
These areas are beautiful. Each and every place is full of wildlife and streams, rivers and magnificent waterfalls. It covers about 7% of earth's surface. The Tropical Rainforest biome is found all over the world.…
Tropical Rain Forest The Tropical Rainforest is a very diverse Biome. Being diverse means that many different types of animals, plants and climates. It is in my personal opinion the greatest biome that exists in today’s world. This biome is home to 50% of the plants and animals on the Earth. The Tropical Rainforest is present on just 2% of the world.…
Tropical savannas or grasslands are associated with the tropical wet and dry climate type. A tropical wet and dry climate predominates in areas covered by savanna growth. Average monthly temperatures are at or above 64° F. Although these areas are overall very dry, they do have a season of heavy rain. Annual rainfall is from 20-50 inches per year. It is crucial that the rainfall is concentrated in six or eight months of the year, followed by a long period of drought when fires can occur. If the rain were well distributed throughout the year, many such areas would become tropical forest.…
The Brazilian Rainforest is home to a myriad of exotic animals, each equipped with their own fair share of abilities to survive in the wild. There are one thousand seven hundred species of birds, six hundred ninety-five amphibious species, six hundred fifty-one species of reptiles and five hundred seventy-eight mammalian species (Butler, 2014). In Brazil resides one-third of the world’s rainforests, which is nestled right around the Earth’s equator (Butler, 2014). As a result, the rainforests experience humidity and year-round precipitation, giving the rainforest the ideal components for a jungle environment.…
