How do you we get rain?

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.)

What are facts about canopy trees?

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.

What percentage of the worlds forests have been destroyed?

It is literally impossible to know what percentage of the worlds trees have been destroyed. Why? Because scientist have yet to formulate an equation that would accurately approximate the actual number of trees still remaining on the planet Earth. Surprise? Not really. Scientific theories, supported by complex mathematics range from anywhere between 400 billion (the absolute low) to 10 trillion (the absolute high) trees currently remain on Earth's surface. Can you imagine the man power it would take to harvest 33% of either of these two figures? Not to mention that the entire human population would be swept away in an enormous fresh water flood and any remaining survivors would eventually die from starvation, soil degradation/poisoning and/or extreme atmospheric deterioration.

What layer of the rainforest is the jaguar found in?

Jaguars live in the Understory layer of the Rainforest. This is the second layer up, right above the Forest Floor. It is dark and nearly impenetrable, but still teaming with life. Monkeys, leopards, sloths and a variety of birds also live in this layer.

Where is the Amazon situated?

Which layer of a rainforest does a peacock live in?

Most macaws live in the emergent layer in the rainforest, but some species, such as Red-fronted macaws, live in swampy areas within rainforests, while Scarlet macaws tend to favour lowlands. The rainforest is not the only habitat in which they are found. Two other species, Scarlet macaws and Military macaws, are known to live in Mexico. Red-fronted macaws, which live in Bolivia, inhabit semi-arid areas, living in cavities in cliff faces.

What can you find to eat in the rain-forest?

Small animals with bright colored skin tones(like red) are the safest and easiest to find, they also taste the best. Also with the abundance of plant life there is no limit to what you can eat! If you are stranded with others cannibalism is always and option(not really. unless you like that kind of stuff....)

Do sharks live in the rain forest?

yes, most sharks actually live n tropical climates

Where are Tropical rain forests located and what is there structure?

There is the forest floor, which is a dark and pretty gloomy place. Most of the bigger animals and insects live here...

Then the understorey, which is a dark but suitable place for insects, bats, birds and possibly a few primates.

Then we come to the canopy, which is lighter than the understorey or forest floor and birds, bats, butterflies, snakes, lizards and still insects.

Then the emergent layer, which only a few trees grow up to and lots of birds, insects, that sort of stuff live here.

How does acid rain effect the rain forest?

it kills trees

The effects of acid rain on rain forests is very bad for the environment. It can cause slower growth, healthy leaves fall of instantly, injury or death of forests. Most foresters didn't used to know that acid rain caused all those problems. Some people think acid raid is deadly, but it wouldn't kill humans, it possibly could kill animals, but not big ones.

Who are helping or hurting the Amazon rain forest?

Today, more than 20% of the Amazon Rainforest has been destroyed by man.

It habitat has been used for cattleranches, mining sites, and logging.

Why is the Amazon rainforest considered the lungs of our planet?

It's described as the long because the amazon rainforest is the world's number one source for oxygen and since we all use oxygen to live it acts as a lung working through our body. We need the lung to help us breathe as we do the amazon rainforest.

What is the economic importance of the rain forests in south America?

* The Amazon rainforest is one of the most important producers of natural rubber in the world. * Also, a major part of the economy of the Amazon rainforest is illegal activity such as drug dealing and wood cutting. Most of the drugs are not farmed in the Amazon region, but the area provides a good path for the drug dealers to deliver their products. * Also, tourism is also a small part of the Amazon economy. It is not nearly as important as the other things mentioned, but it still plays a part in the economy of that area.

What gas do rain forests produce?

All trees convert carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases into sugars (food) and release oxygen into the atmosphere. Without trees and vegetation, there'd be little or no oxygen for us to breath. The destruction of the rainforest will be mankind's greatest undoing.

Why is the air in a forest usually humid?

Convection of the rainfall

Convection: Typical of hot climates

Convection occurs after morning sunshine heat shine moist air. Clouds form in the afternoon and rainfalls.
