Rainforests

The ocean covers up 71% of the earth. 97% of the earth is water.

The Amazon rain forest is the name for a specific rain forest, located in South America, where as just rain forest is an unspecified region, containing lush tropical plants, and a high amount of precipitation.

Amazonia receives about 9 feet of rain every year. Fifty percent of this returns to the atmosphere through the foliage of trees. Most of the Amazon River's water comes from the annual snowmelt high in the Peruvian Andes. Between June and October, the water level rises by 30 to 45 feet. Tens of millions of acres of rainforest are covered by water as the flood advances, reaching as far inland from the main channel as 12 miles.

Hope this helps!

Florida is a very interesting state because it has A LOT of different biomes... A very unique type of 'biome' (found in the Everglades) is called a Tropical Hammock. Tropical Hammocks are like miniature Tropical Rainforests that are scattered all around Southern Florida (again, mainly in the Everglades). It has been said that Key Lignumvitae has a little Tropical Rainforest on it. So, to answer your question yes, there is Tropical Rainforest in Florida. Another interesting note, is that Florida actually has Subtropical Rainforest as well! Look up Ocala National Forest and you'll see how cool that is. You always hear people talking about Tropical Rainforest, but not Subtropical. It's pretty interesting!

Forests are full of trees, and for animal and human respiration, trees are important. Plants and trees use carbon dioxide in the process of photosynthesis, the waste output being oxygen, which then supplies animals and humans with oxygen to breathe. Trees contribute towards providing breathable air for all animal species, therefore they are called the lungs of the earth.

Rainforests grow near the equator because Earth is round and the sun ray's are more intense at the equatorial region. Additionally the Sun is almost directly overhead at the Equator, which causes the temperature in the tropics to range from 20 degree Celsius to 30 degree Celsius. Also this would mean that the places at or near the Equator would receive more or less the same amount of sunlight. The equatorial regions also have high rainfall from water vapour evaporated from the heat from the Equator that evaporates water.

High rainfall and strong sunlight allow the rainforests to thrive and survive in equatorial regions.

yes they do:)!

Yes. Formosan Black Bears, Sun Bears, Specacled Bears and Sloth Bears are some of the species that live in rain forests.

Yes people all over the world are trying to preserve the rain forest by reserving land so that people can not cut down trees, protesting, ext...)

A dawn bat will eat fruit and other plants

Most primates and humans

They got wet and dirty and had to take a lot of baths. The problem was that there were no baths. They had to bathe in the river, which was dirty.

Some large birds of prey in the rainforest will eat owls. These include hawks and eagles. Jaguars will also sometimes eat owls.

There is no way to tell. Different forests exisat in different countries and when they are cut, they are for different purposes. For the most part, there is no real dollar value that can be assigned. A few square miles may be cut and used to grow crops, to graze cattle, or to build houses. But don't let that worry you. There are some things that many people don;t realize about "rainforests". One thing unique about this kind of environment is that they usually have a canopy. This is caused by hundreds of years of competition and natural selection between trees. Each one works to gather t he most sunlight. The ones that come out on top grow while the shorter one's don't get the sunlight they need and die. This causes the area beneath the canopy to not get any sunlight. There is usually little plant life between the trees and what there is, doesn't usually provide much food for animals. There are of course animals unique to these habitats that are adapted for this environment and these areas are largely unstudied so getting rid of them seems to be a shame and a waste. But the reality is that the areas are being used much more efficiently by having them burned down and allowing them to either start over, or become useful. The loss of many species while shameful, is no different than the other millions of species that have been lost throughout history. Please note that I am not making an argument supporting the senseless destruction of pristine habitats, but when it is going to be useful, there seems to be no reason not to use it. Climates and environments are always in a constant state of change. Those forests were once deserts, ocean bottoms, and one day will be again. Many of the species around today, and indeed, even ourselves would not have come about if it weren't for such destructive events occurring. The planet may be headed towards disaster in the long run, but the solutions will be in a combination of technology and regulated change, not conservatism.

On the forest floor.

yes

Bonobo are adept at tree climbing, which is an advantage because there are so many trees. The trees are where most of the food in the rainforest is. Bonobos are adapted to eat leaves and fruits, and supplement their diets with other things such as insects.

3-6 billion trees are consumed by the world each world

Africa, South America, Australia

it comes from the water cycle. the sun heats up some water ( in the sea, a river ect.) and the water evaporates ( the water turns in a gas) and the gas is called water vapor. then the gas goes high in the atmosphere ( convection ) then the water vapor cools down and condenses ( gas turns into a liquid ) and turns into a cloud. then the wind blows the cloud ( usually over a mountain ) and the cloud precipitates ( rain, snow, hail or sleet happens ) then the water forms rivers, streams, lakes, ect. some of the water seeps into the ground this is called ground water. ( some water just comes back to the sea or place it was) then it all happens again...

( evaporation can also happen from the water on trees but that's called transpiration.)

The bird would be better at attacking competitors.

the bird could use the break to crack open nuts

Canopy can be defined as the upper layer of a tree, formed by the mature tree crowns. We often think of shade trees when using the term canopy, and sometimes canopy trees and shade trees can be used interchangeably. Basically, the canopy of the tree is made up of dense foliage and branches of large trees that block sunlight from reaching the ground and adjacent, lower growing plants below. Canopy trees are not solely limited to rainforests. They can be found in many regions of the world. In addition to providing shade, canopy trees protect the area below from strong, drying winds and heavy rainfall. Due to the large amount of sunlight available to these trees, they are able to photosynthesize both rapidly and efficiently, producing more leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds, which helps support local wildlife. Canopy trees also help regulate climate and play an important role in the health of our environment.
