Harpy Eagles and other birds live in the emergent layer. There are also many different kinds of butterflies and insects. Many of these animals are also found in the canopy of the rain forest. The birds and insects are important because they help pollinate the rain forest plants.

How are tropical rainforests and deciduous forests similar?

both are found in North America, Europe and Asia

both also have 5 layers

5-Groung zone 5-forest floor

hope this helps you!!!!!!!!!

What are some causes of damage to plants and animals in the rain forests?

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there does the tree make a sound?

It does make a sound because the act of making a sound has nothing to do with the people around it because a sound wave would still move through the air. Regardless of who is present, it will make a sound.

If a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it does anybody hear it?

Well of course he is. An entire forest can fall and men will still be wrong.

Yes we would be........Damned if we tell the truth, and damned if we don't. Either way, we're up a tree.

Maybe that's why the tree fell? And the moral of that is.....if men would keep their feet planted firmly on the ground, they wouldn't have to be "up a tree".

How might the extinction of plants species from a tropical rain forest affect animals that live in the forest?

Knowing that more than 50% of the world's amimals and plants live in the tropical rainforests is extremely important. This means that we must sustain the rainforests so that the animals have a habitat. Otherwise, when trees are cut down, the plants and animals that live in these tree will die for they have no where else to live. This leads to the animals and plants that live in the soil.

The dramatic loss of trees, that anchor the soil with its roots, causes widespread erosion throughout the tropics. The only good soils that are able to survive are cleared away by the rain because the trees leaves aren't there to stop it from getting to the soil. Rica loses about 860 million tons of trop soil after deforestation while the Great Red Island, Madagascar loses so much soil to erosion (400 tons/ha) that its rivers turn red-blood, staining the Indians oceans.

After rainfall rains on cleared forest lands, the run off the damaged trop soils are carried into local rivers and creaks. Hydroelectric products and irrigation infrastructure lose productivity from siltation while industrial installations suspend operations due to the lack of fresh water.

It also damages fishes for the increased sediment load in rivers smothers the fish eggs causing them to hatch slower. When the suspended particles of sediment get towards the ocean the water turns cloudy causing the coral reefs to die off and effects coastal fisheries' businesses.

How does the Netherlands protect its low lying areas?

The Netherlands has a sea-climate. It also doesn't lie anywhere near a fault line, where two earth plates hit each other. Therefor, there have never been real tragedies concerning water.

There was a flood in 1421 which claimed some lives and one in 1953 that claimed 1835 human lives and some cattle.

The Dutch have embankments (these are basically elevated parts of dirt, rocks and other natural material) along most rivers. When the snow in the Alps (mainly, there's more) melts during spring, this water flows through those rivers. The embankments stop the rivers from flooding and doing damage.

In the south-west, there are mechanical dams that close when there is a heavy storm at sea, to prevent a repetition of the flood of 1953.

As I said, there are no real tragedies concerning water. If the Netherlands is ever hit by a hurricane, tsunami or whatnot, most would not survive. Over half of the country lies below sea level.
