How are rainforests Formed?

Answer 1

I'm thinking rain forests are formed by sunlight, rain and seeds. The seeds need sunlight and rain to grow into plants and trees. I think the animals traveled to the rainforests by walking with there legs.

Answer 2

A forest can form anywhere the plant life and animal life can thrive without disruption. Any land combined with weather conditions that can support the ecosystem will enable the forest to develop. When left to grow, trees will eventually mature and enable the animals to take home to the land. Other plants will grow from the protection of the trees also.

Answer 3

Forests are dynamic ecosystems-they're always growing and changing. Patterns of forest succession are relatively predictable within given site conditions, but highly variable from site to site. For instance, in the sub-boreal forests of northeastern Minnesota, widespread aspen and birch forests are being invaded by native spruce and fir trees. Over time as the short-lived aspens and birches die, shade-tolerant conifers will take over. This process is readily visible driving along Highway 61 along Lake Superior's north shore.

However, many factors can affect the process of forest succession. Variation in climate, soils, seed sources, natural disturbance, and wildlife populations can all affect a forest's succession.

Answer 4

a forest is formed when people cut down trees and plant new ones

Answer 5

Two ways: Either people plant lots of saplings, or Nature takes its course.
