Forests

dont put the ? on there if you dont have the answer

The largest forest fires in the world's _recorded_ history would be the 1997-98 Indonesian forest fires. though the fires after the hypothesised meteorite falling in the Mexico gulf probably released enough energy to start volcanoes and forest fires throughout all the continents.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_1997_Indonesian_forest_fires

the Indonesian fire burned on and off for 2 years. the biggest single fire was in Queensland, Australia. started on the 1/11/74 and burned throughout the Thargomindah, Bulloo Shire, Boulia Urandangie, McKinlay Shire. it burnt around 7,300,000ha.

There are several forests in Cumbria, including Whinlatter Forest, Grizedale Forest, and Ennerdale Forest. Each forest has unique features and offers opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and wildlife watching.

Libya has no tropical rain forests, present day. It is located in fairly dry and arid North Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea.

Animals that eat grass include cows, sheep, horses, goats, and deer. Grass is a primary food source for herbivores, providing them with essential nutrients and energy. These animals have evolved to efficiently digest and derive nutrition from grass.

That depends on the size of the fire.

If it is in a fireplace or woodstove, there is a mechanism that rotates a cylinder (with slots and orange, yellow and red gels) around a lightbulb to produce the effect of contained flame.

If the fire is to be much larger, the same effect can be obtained by throwing this light across a longer distance. Of course the apparatus would need to be larger, if not physically, then in terms of wattage. Or two sets of gels, each cut to represent flames but different in shape from each other, could be placed side by side and rapidly and alternately lit, to achieve the appearance of fire. This works especially well if the gels are fanned to make them move and flicker.

There are many other ways to produce this affect. But, however it is produced, don't forget the smoke machine.

as the air rises to cross the mountains it is cooled and is able to hold less moisture

so it drops in the form of rain. when the air reaches lower areas there is more moisture to make less rain.

Only a hundred or so years ago, there were countries in South America that were entirely covered in rainforest. At that time, rainforests covered 14 percent of the Earth. Today, rainforests only cover 6 percent, and are being demolished constantly.

I'm afraid I can't display images as I'm a text-based AI. However, the rain cycle in the rainforest involves evaporation from the forest, formation of clouds, precipitation in the form of rain, and finally, absorption by the forest's plants and soils. This cycle helps sustain the biodiversity and ecosystem of the rainforest.

The rainforest is near the equator because it receives consistent sunlight throughout the year, creating a warm and humid climate that is optimal for the growth of diverse plant and animal species. The high amount of rainfall and stable temperatures at the equator also contribute to the lush vegetation and biodiversity found in rainforests.

An example of a predator in the tundra is the Arctic fox. This species is well-adapted to the harsh conditions of the tundra and preys on small mammals, birds, and eggs to survive. Its thick fur coat helps it stay warm in the cold environment.

India has experienced significant deforestation since 1980, with various states showing different rates of change in forest area. States like Kerala and Punjab have seen significant declines, while others like Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh have shown slight increases due to conservation efforts. Overall, the decrease in forest area is a cause for concern and highlights the need for sustainable forestry management practices.

Fires can occur at any elevation depending on factors such as fuel availability, weather conditions, and ignition sources. However, the risk and behavior of fires may vary at higher elevations due to factors like reduced oxygen levels, colder temperatures, and different types of vegetation.

Deer, rabbits, owls, moose, wolves and moose are all examples of animals that inhabit forests. Different animals inhabit different forests according to region.

Yes, deciduous forests can flood, especially in low-lying areas or near rivers and streams. Periodic flooding can be beneficial to the ecosystem, as it can bring nutrient-rich sediment and help maintain soil moisture levels. However, excessive flooding can be damaging to the vegetation and wildlife in a deciduous forest.

Coniferous trees are commonly found in western Europe, particularly in regions with cooler climates and higher elevations. They are prevalent in countries such as Norway, Sweden, Scotland, and parts of Germany and France. These trees thrive in moist, mountainous areas with acidic soils.

The major forest biomes in the world include tropical rainforests, temperate forests, and boreal forests (also known as taiga). Tropical rainforests are found near the equator and are characterized by high biodiversity. Temperate forests are found in regions with four distinct seasons, while boreal forests are located in the northern hemisphere and have cold winters.

The trees in the Taiga biome typically have needle-like leaves that are adapted to withstand cold temperatures and retain moisture. These leaves are usually dark green and remain on the trees year-round to support photosynthesis during the long winters. Some trees in the Taiga, such as larches, do shed their needles in the fall.

The first stage of primary succession is colonization, where pioneer species like lichens and mosses establish themselves on bare rock or soil. These early colonizers help to break down the substrate and create conditions suitable for other plant species to follow.

Sage is a culinary herb that belongs to the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is known for its aromatic leaves that are commonly used in cooking to add flavor to dishes. Sage is a perennial plant that is native to the Mediterranean region.

The Mediterranean forests are home to a variety of animals, including wild boars, deer, foxes, rabbits, and various bird species such as owls, eagles, and woodpeckers. Additionally, smaller mammals like squirrels, hedgehogs, and shrews inhabit these forests.

The number of trees per hectare depends on the species and age of the trees, as well as forest density and management practices. In natural forests, the number of trees can range from a few hundred to several thousand per hectare. In managed forests or plantations, the number can be higher due to closer spacing.
