How does Jamaica's natural vegetation affects its rainfall?
1. Areas in Jamaica which receive more than 2, 500 mm of rainfall annually have a dense vegetation or forest vegetation. The trees in these areas are called broadleaf evergreen and are so densely packed that one would find it difficult to walk through these types of forests. 2. The hilly areas of the island especially in the north and east receive more rainfall than the lowland areas or the plains to the south. The hilly areas have the most forest vegetation because they get more rainfall. For example, the Blue Mountains and the Cockpit country. 3. In the coastal areas, the rainfall is less than 1500 mm per year. The vegetation in these areas tends to be short, scrub-like and scattered. The plants are mainly shrubs and they shed their leaves in the dry season. In places such as Hellshire in St. Catherine the cactus is a common plant. These plants are also referred to as succulents as they store water within them to protect them during the dry seasons.

The savanna has more rainfall than a desert which allows for more vegetation to grow there.
What factors cause variations in climate and vegetation in the US?
Climate has a major impact on the variety and distributions of vegetation in the West. Temperature and moisture levels are the two major variables that determine the types of vegetation in a region and the West generally experiences warmer drier climates which limits the types of vegetation that can grow there. In the West climate determines the presence of deserts grasslands coniferous forests and temperate rainforests. Because of the wide range of climates the West can be home to a variety of vegetation including: Cacti and other succulents in the driest regions Trees such as pines and junipers in the mountains Grasses shrubs and other low-lying plants in grasslands Tall evergreens in temperate rainforestsThe distribution of vegetation in the West is also determined by climate. Areas with higher rainfall may support more diverse and plentiful vegetation while areas with lower rainfall may have less vegetation. Additionally the climate affects the type of vegetation that can be found in the region. For example deserts are found in areas with very little rainfall while temperate rainforests are found in areas with higher rainfall. The variety and distributions of vegetation in the West are ultimately determined by the climate of the region.

Does heavy rainfall make ocean water more or less dense?
Heavy rainfall makes water less dense because an increase in salinity leads to an increase in density. Rain does not contain any salt. Therefore heavy rainfall makes ocean water less dense. =)
What is the quantity of desert vegetation?
The answer depends on the amount of rainfall the particular desert receives. The Atacama Desert receives very little rainfall so has little plant life. On the other hand, the Sonoran Desert receives more rainfall and has much more plant life.
