Rainforests

Forests are often described as the "lungs" of the earth. This is because they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to global warming. When forests are cut down, less carbon dioxide is absorbed and more exists in the air, thus contributing to global warming.

A rainforest is unique because of its diversity in flora and fauna. Rainforests cover 6% of the world. However 50% of flora and fauna species are found in rainforests.

Rainforests lie in the "tropics." They also receive at least 80 inches of rain per year. Scientists believe that about half of the plants and animals found on earth's land surface live in the rainforests.

Rainforests can be saved by keeping humans from cutting down trees. Protect the rainforests by staying out of them. Plant trees in areas where trees have been taken out.

The rainforest is neither vertebrate or invertebrate. The rainforest is a biome, and biomes cannot be classed as vertebrates or invertebrates. Only individual organisms that are members of the Kingdom Animalia can be classified in this way.

Rainforests are disappearing very quickly. The good news is there are a lot of people who want to save rainforests. The bad news is that saving rainforests is not going to be easy. It will take the efforts of many people working together in order to ensure that rainforests and their wildlife will survive for your children to appreciate, enjoy, and benefit from. Here are some basic ideas of what we can do to take action against the destruction of rainforests:

1. Teach others about the importance of rainforests

2. Restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees on land where forests have been cut down.

3. Encourage people to live in an environmentally-friendly manner.

4. Establish parks to protect rainforests and wildlife.

5. Support communities that act against rainforest destruction.

6. Use less paper, don't waste paper.

7. Eat less red meat

There are four layers comprising tropical rainforests. The emergent layer consists of a few very tall trees that grow above the canopy. The canopy layer has most of the largest trees and about half of the plant life. The understory layer contains the vast majority of animals and insects. The forest floor has few plants but consists of decaying plant and animal matter, as well as various fungi.

yes it deos and it lives all around asia

Humans are continously causing deforestation which is automatically stopping the things we most need and will come to need from producing itself.

Yes, the farmers who clear-cut the forest gain fertile land to grow crops to sell and earn an income from. However, the soil loses nutrients rapidly in this system so after a couple years the farmer has to move on to a new patch of land.

Also, the logging companies that harvest standing timber from the forest earn a profit from selling the lumbar. They often employ local citizens who then have a steady income to support their families.

The challenge is that both of the above benefits are limited to a select group (the farmers and the logging companies) while the large-scale destruction of the rainforest is beginning to affect climate around the world. However, in those local communities farming or logging may be the only way for the local population to make a living and support their families.

The amazon rain forest has been in existence for at least 55 million years.

They have sharp teeth for tearing their prey apart. They also have strong legs for running, jumping, climbing, and swimming. Another adaptations that they have is padded paws for sneaking up on prey.

The average person produces a surprising amount of waste every day. Specifically, each person generates around 4 and a half pounds per day.

cause its wet

The flowers produce long pods and inside the pods are seeds.

because they have short limbs and they are camouflaged

Yes, pink (and grey) river dolphins can live in the rainforest.

You could say that they're almost completely opposite. Tundra is located on earth's poles, which receive little sunlight making it extremely cold. Little vegetation can become established because of the permafrost that prevents root systems, as well as the winds that clear miles of open land. In contrast, tropical rainforests receive direct and constant sunlight, which evaporates large amounts of water into the atmosphere only to drop back down again. Though rainforests only occupy 3% of the earth, it contains over half of the worlds species - the most diverse biome in the world.

we actullay just learned about this in school and there is NOTone in the amazon rainforest :( boo hoo cause i love mcdonalds :)

The pandas have adapted to the rainforest by having wide teeth and powerful jaws necessary to chew tough bamboo leaves. They have thick furs which serve as protection against the rain and cold. They also have fur on the soles of their feet to help in gripping wet branches.

The soil in rainforests is very thin and has few nutrients. This is because the organic matter is quickly decomposed and re-used so it does not form deep deposits. A crop would quickly use up the few available nutrients.
