The Venus flytrap is native of swamp areas, not rain forests; it distribution is specific to North and South Carolina in the United States. (see related link).

Other carnivorous/ insectivorous plants (Pitcher plants, sundews etc.) are found in other areas of the world including rain forests.

What is Venus' highest temperature recorded?

Venus' highest temperature is around 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius), making it the hottest planet in our solar system. This extreme temperature is due to its thick atmosphere that traps heat, creating a runaway greenhouse effect.


How does the temperature of Venus compare to the temperature of Earth?

The surface temperature of Venus is much hotter than Earth, with average temperatures around 467 degrees Celsius (872 degrees Fahrenheit) due to its thick atmosphere that traps heat. In comparison, the average temperature of Earth is around 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit).


What is the difference between the greenhouse effect on Venus and the greenhouse effect on Earth?

On Venus, the clouds are made of thick, dense carbon dioxide which traps the heat, tucking it in close to the Venutian surface.On Earth, greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane and others act in much the same way, though not as intensely as on Venus.


Why are plants with active traps found in areas that have poor soil?

Plants with active traps, such as carnivorous plants, are found in areas with poor soil because they have evolved to obtain nutrients, particularly nitrogen, from capturing and digesting insects or other prey. In nutrient-poor soils, these plants have adapted to supplement their nutrient intake by using their unique trapping mechanisms.


Difference between structural and stratigraphic trap?

Hydrocarbon traps that form in geologic structures such as folds and faults are called structural traps. Hydrocarbon traps that result from changes in rock type or pinch-outs, unconformities, or other sedimentary features such as reefs or buildups are called stratigraphic traps.
