There are a couple of ways to define what are tropical waters. The first is:- By geographical position, any water that lies between the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere must be Tropical Waters. The other way to define Tropical Water is subjective and dependent on temperature. In my opinion tropical water is water that never goes below 65F.
No, if the prescription is old then it should be gotten rid of.
What are three adaptations of the tallest trees in the tropical rain forest?
Rainforest plants have made many adaptations to their environment. With over 80 inches of rain per year, plants have made adaptations that helps them shed water off their leaves quickly so the branches don't get weighed down and break. Many plants have drip tips and grooved leaves, and some leaves have oily coatings to shed water. To absorb as much sunlight as possible on the dark understory, leaves are very large. Some trees have leaf stalks that turn with the movement of the sun so they always absorb the maximum amount of light. Leaves in the upper canopy are dark green, small and leathery to reduce water loss in the strong sunlight. Some trees will grow large leaves at the lower canopy level and small leaves in the upper canopy. Other plants grow in the upper canopy on larger trees to get sunlight. These are the epiphytes such as orchids and bromeliads. Many trees have buttress and stilt roots for extra support in the shallow, wet soil of the rainforests.
Explain How do nitrogen cycles through a tropical rain forest?
The nitrogen in a tropical rain forest goes through the normal nitrogen cycle steps and also gains nitrogen directly from lightning activity.
Basic Nitrogen cycle steps:
1. Nitrogen-fixation: nitrogen gas (N2) in the atmosphere is changed into ammonia (NH3) by special nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil.2. Nitrification: the conversion of ammonia (NH3) to nitrate (NO3-), done in two steps by bacteria. In the first step NH3 is converted to nitrite (NO2-). The second step is for NO2- to be converted into NO3-.
3. Assimilation: NH3 and NO3- compounds are taken into plants' biological tissues. Nitrogen is needed for the building of proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Plants can use NO3- and NH3, animals obtain nitrogen by eating plants or other animals.
4. Ammonification: the conversion of organic nitrogen into ammonia (NH3); acomplished by the decomposition of organisms or waste products (urine and feces).
5. Denitrification: the process of changing NO3- to N2 gas. This is done by bacteria where there is little or no oxygen. This returns nitrogen to the atmosphere.
Role of lightning:Lightning produces NH3, NO2-, and NO3- compounds fromN2 gas in the atmosphere so nitrogen can be incorperated into the stages of the cycle without nitrogen-fixing bacteria.Lightning is an important part of the nitrogen cycle, especially in the rain forest since the soils are heavily leached. Much of the nitrogen in the soil is washed away by the rain. The lightning replenishes the soil and leaves some of nitrogen compounds in the air. Plant leaves can readily take up NO3- from the air and some plants depend on it (such as epiphytes whose roots do not reach the soil).
Estimates of how much nitrogen forests take in varies widely, but some have speculated that in a year a rainforest could take in as much as 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
Is it legal to have a pet chimpanzee in Alberta?
No.
Even if it is, chimpanzees cannot be pets. As babies, they are easy to care for and can pretty much be raised as a human child. However, once they reach adolescence, they become 7-10 time stronger than a human. No matter how loving a relationship a chimp has with their human family, there is always the possibility they will lose their temper and attack, or attack a neighbour. Not even the trainers in Hollywood can handle them after this, and usually get rid of them or keep them in cages their whole lives after a childhood of severe abuse.
Also, it is not kind to the chimp. When they become too strong to handle, many zoos cannot take pet chimps, because chimps learn their social skills from watching the members of their community as they get older, and they do not know how to interact properly with other chimps. They also cannot be put into the wild for this reason. Sanctuaries are usually full to capacity. Some owners are so desperate they resort to sending their chimp to a biomedical lab to be used as a research subject. Not to mention the fact that these baby chimps are taken from their mothers to be raised by humans. This has exactly the same effect it would on a human mother and child.
Chimps are also very endangered in the wild, and keeping them as pets gives the impression that the species is stable, when nothing could be further from the truth.
If you love chimps, do some research and help protect them in the wild, or fundraise or volunteer for a sanctuary. But never ever ever get a pet chimp. It ends badly for all involved.

Why is it difficult for small ground plants to survive in Latin Americas tropical rain forests?
The Rainforest tops come together to for a dense canopy, or covering, that keeps the sun from reaching the forest floor. As a result not many small ground plants survive.

Why does the rain forest grow in layers?
It grows in layers because of the amount of sunlight reaching each part of the forest. Since the emergents are the highest they receive the most amount of sunlight and hence the top layer. As the layers decrease so does the amount of sunlight and hence different heights of the rainforest.
No. Humans evolved from a common ancestor we have with today's "great" apes (chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas). This is proven specifically for human evolution by ERVs and the fused chromosome #2.
Brain coral is just an example of Pareidolia... the phenomena of the human mind to see patterns in things that aren't really anything (like religious images in toast, faces in mountain sides, etc).
