Rainforests

Electric eels live in some parts of the amazon river, near the amazon rainforest.

The vast majority of Earth's oxygen comes from the rain forests. If we do not protect them, our ecosystem will be so greatly damaged that it could threaten all life on the planet.

Actually, just over 20% of the world's oxygen comes from the Amazon Rainforest. Added to this, To date, at least 40,000 plant species, 3,000 fish, 1,294 birds, 427 mammals, 428 amphibians, and 378 reptiles live in the Amazon Rainforest. They would all lose their habitats. Also, lots of medicines can be found in the Amazon and there are lots of plants that might provide cures for diseases and if the Amazon was destroyed, we'd never know.

That question is impossible to answer because there are so many species that new ones are being discovered every day. There could very well be millions.

I"m no expert on fires and fire management but the following facts make sense. First of all there is large expanse of land and plenty of fuel(trees wood, dead leaves on ground, etc)( secondly there are no natural fire breaks(like walls of a building, etc or river banks) Finally they are usually out in the wilderness and identification and repsonse with fire-fighting teams is usually difficult and in some cases impossible, not the istuaion with a pull-alarm box on say, 23rd street in NYc. All of these factors combine including the sparse human population. Even politics can be weighed in if nobody lives there, why spend a lot of tax dollars on fire-control devices useless for anything else!-hence the Federal Govt steps in,=for example national parks. prevention is better than control here, Smokey the Bear was right! Ony You can Prevent Forest Fires!-smoke "em out.

it was discovered in 1113 on july 17 of june it is so old it has been over taken by the americans in 1814 4th of april.

the soil of the rainforest is very poor--it only stays fertile by the constant dropping of leaves, branches, and vines that die and fertilize it. When farmers burn off the forest and farm the land for a few years, then must leave because it no longer produces crops.

Some common foods coming from the Amazon Rainforest include: cocoa beans, bananas, manioc, rice, fish, soy, and corn, mango and sugar canes

75% of Australian rain forests have been cleared since settlement

mental and

The entire Willamette Valley is a rain forest. Well if feels that way. But the only actual designated rain forest in the northwest is the Olympic National Forest in Washington State.

If an animal couldn't adapt then the animal would die. The importance of adaptation is that the animal change its body conditions to adjust to the present condition that is facing so that it can survive.

The layers are:

-The Shrub Layer - 10m (bottom layer- plants that like damp, dark conditions)

-The Under-canopy - 20m Young trees (contains small trees that are ready to shoot up and replace the bigger trees)

-The Canopy- 30m-40m (continuous band of trees that are all fully grown and all the same height).

-Emergents- 50m - (Top layer- Trees that have broken through the canopy)

There are many of them. They include gilled fungus, devil's tongues, coral fungus, agaric fungus, toothed fungus, slime mould, luminous fungus, bracket fungus, cup fungus, moss, organ pipe fungus, sac fungus, stinkhorn fungus, jelly fungus, and lichen. The forest floor is the leaf-littered ground. It is the home of many, many insects and some large animals. ~short :)

They often flood and drown the trees because it is so flat there, also killing wildlife and fish The reduced water flow downstream disturbs riverbeds and affects floodplain farmers who rely on seasonal floods for nutrients to enrich the soil and kill pests. therefore they turn to pesticides and artificial fertilizers which have their own negative environmental effects.

My desert is the Chihuahuan Desert where it is quite hot in the summer but usually pleasantly cool in the winter.

You can get many things from a rain forest. That would be coffee beans, Cacao beans (used to make chocolate), tomatoes, corn, rice, coconuts, oranges, figs, avocados, grapefruits, bananas, mangoes, guavas, vanilla, black pepper, potatoes, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cashews, Brazil nuts, lemons, yams, sugar, paper, essential oils...

its different because vegetation is more different than rain forest

there are rainforests on either side of the equator. Ex: amazon rainforest.

IN Amagun, Praries, Savannah, All Rainforests are being cut because they offer lot of land to people and also they uncountable privilleges.
