a2. You can easily do an experiment. Go into a single story forest, and at some suitable place, take a shot with your camera pointing straight up.

From this you should be able to estimate the proportion of clear sky visible from below the canopy. The covered space is that captured by the canopy.

What animals live in the canopy layer of the rainforest?

Since the canopy of the trees in the rain forest are high up there arent many plants living except for fungus and seedlings.

There are also many different species of primates that dwell in the canopy such as lemurs and baboons.Answer:The diversity of the rainforest canopy depends on the rainforest location - the Amazonian forest is very different from that of Canada's British Columbia.

How much of the ozone layer do you have right now?

The "ozone layer" is roughly the same condition it has always been in. The amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere varies mainly due to variations in solar activity. UV radiation has serious affects on this layer. Holes form over the poles at the end of each winter due to a lack of sunlight. When the sun returns, the "holes" quickly disappear.


Where is the ozone layer likely to decrease th most?

Ozone is likely to decrease at poles. Mostly at Antarctica.
