Amazon Rainforest

The problems are that each year more and more foresting is going on in this area and they think at this rate the whole Brazilian forest could be gone by the 21st century

Natural rubber, brazil nuts, Guarana (small berry), Acai (fruit), minerals like iorn,diamonds and other less precious jems, wood (hundreds of trees), mecidnal plants.

harpy eagles and mocaws are two birds.

• To help save the rainforest, simply live in a way which doesn’t hurt the environment. Don’t buy tropical woods, such as mahogany, teak, and many others. Instead, look for American woods suck as oak, cherry, walnut, and beech.
• Use recycled products. Buying recycled paper prevents more of the Amazon’s trees from being cut down. Plastic and glass can be recycled to prevent the use of additional land being for landfills.
• To save the Amazon rainforest you can reduce your paper and wood consumption. Logging companies are cutting down some of the most endangered forests on the planet to make wood and paper products. You can reduce your usage of paper and wood by using both sides of each piece of paper, using your own cloth bags at the grocery store and avoiding disposable paper plates and cups.
• Another way you can help save the amazon rainforest is reducing your beef consumption. This is helpful because the main cause for Amazon rainforest deforestation is clearing forest area for cattle pasture. Reducing your consumption of beef will reduce demand for it, cutting back on pressure to clear more forests for cattle.
• Reducing your oil consumption is also helpful in causing less damage to the Amazon rainforest. The burning of oil, gas, and coal is the primary cause of climate change, a trend that is threatening the stability of the global climate. In addition, oil exploration projects lead to toxic pollution and massive deforestation, posing a threat to pristine ecosystems and indigenous cultures worldwide.

• Teach others about the importance of the environment and how they can help save rainforests.
• Restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees on land where forests have been cut down.
• Encourage people to live in a way that doesn't hurt the environment.
• Establish parks to protect rainforests and wildlife.
• Support companies that operate in ways that minimize damage to the environment. Also known as 'TREES'

Orangs live in Asia. The Amazon is in South America.

So Orangs don't live in the Amazon rainforest.

The reason is that it is very rich in all kinds of goods, such as gold and diamond, and also there is minerals and resources that we use for fuel.

filled with pavement and sidewalks. no plants.

no. The Amazon rain forest is in South America. Lions live in Africa.

It's Selva, which is in my social studies book

Anacondas tend to hunt in water. They require higher heat and humidity, and use trees as defense from possible predators. Anacondas can even be found in the swamps of Florida, which is very similar to the Amazon.

They cutn down the trees to make room for crops and such

There are many different kinds of species in the Amazon Rainforest. But most of those species are endangered because people are cutting down the trees in the rainforest for paper. And some animals homes are the trees and if they cut them down the animals will have no place to live and they will die.

The Amazon rainforest began forming some 9.9 million years ago.

what is the rainforest soil like ?

they are heavy and dont fall off trees

Becuase of the wet ground

the rainforest is a cool temperature, whereas many people think it is warm. the temperature usually falls between 9-19 degrees. with all the rain it makes the temperature cooler and causes a wind.

Soil in the tropical rainforest's is very nutrient poor. The topsoil is only one to two inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters) deep. The only reason plant life is so lush is because the plants store the nutrients in themselves rather than getting them from the soil. When plants decay, other growing plants tap the nutrients from the dead matter and reuse nutrients left over from that plant. This is why farmers can only use the rainforest's soil for one or two years after they clear cut it, before all nutrients are stripped from the soil.The reason the soil so infertile is because it is more than 100 million years old, and has taken a beating from the elements. After time, rain washes minerals out of the soil, leaving it more acidic and nutrient poor. Soil exposed to the heat and condensed sunlight turns it into red clay. Other soils just cannot deal with minerals, and turn it into compounds useless to plants. There are some fertile patches of soil in the rainforest's, but they are scattered throughout the thick vegetation.

The amazon rainforest hold 70% of the world plants that have anticancer properties witch means if you have cancer the cure you could get would possibly be from the rainforest .

Also lots of tribes - that have never had contact with the outside world live there and animals-that can only survive in the rainforest!

Yes, the land is flat in the amazon Rainforest. There are hardly any hills and it is low lying land. The land is covered by plants and is home to insects and small mammals. The vegetation hardly gets any sunshine on ground level.

A rain forest is simply a forest that has lots and lots of rain each year (+70in a year) The Amazon rain forest in particular is very large it covers a good portion of South America (1.4 billion acres). It calls 9 different countries home and is home to thousands of types of trees and animals. The climate is warm (about 79* F) and humid.
