How would the destruction of the Amazon rain forest hurt the earth?
Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation. That equates to 50,000 species a year, now that's a BIG amount.
There were an estimated 10 million Indians living in the Amazon Rainforest five centuries ago but today there are less than 200,000.
Just calculate and estimate from this- if the entire Amazon were burned, we would be losing a large percent of the world's oxygen producers, and would worsen greenhouse effects along with it.

How does a thermos keep things cold or hot?
A thermoses can come from a wide range of styles and materials:
Plastic: which can keep a temp for about 3-4 hours before you start to noticing any change in temperature. This type of thermos is isolated like all thermoses has an outer wall and inner wall with space* and some times outside of the inner wall is sprayed with some photo reflective coating** but that ends there.
Metal: The reason to use metal is because it is durable and has the ability to retain temperature when nothing is there to pull the heat or cold away. There are two types of thermoses like this one has an empty space of air for insulation two is the complete opposite it is usually called a vacuum flask has no air, gas or any substance at all. the reason this works is because everything transfers temperature, even air. So what best way to keep your Hot cocoa lava hot? these can keep things worm or cold about 24 hours 48 if you over heat or over cool your liquids. also "prep" it.
They have an inner and outer wall. In between the walls, some thermoses use a vacuum, since the only form of heat that can travel through a vacuum is radiation. Others use dead air space or insulation, like styrofoam, which has many tiny pockets of dead air space.
Are there chickens in the rainforest?

How does cutting of forest trees affect the air?
Cutting down oxygen producing rainforest effect the atmosphere by climate change no way to keep heat away during the day and keeping the forest warm at night. Also decreases precipitation tress hold a lot of water around it roots which is evaporated into the sky and later causes it to rain.
How do the rainforest tribes get there food?
I don't know much on the subject but i watched a video in school resently which showed a group of Amazon tribe people thrusting these special peices of wood into the water. This would trigger some chemicals in the wood to go into the water and cause it to lose oxygen. The fish in the water would then rise to the surface to try to breathe, making them easy targets for spears.
Why does it not rain in Ethiopia?
It does rain in Egypt but only for four days a year. It doesn't have much rain as it is so close to the equator and is all desert
What is the government of Brazil doing to save the Amazon rainforest?
I think that the Brazilian government could enforce better laws to limit the amount of trees that can be cut down and they should monitor it carefully, as at the moment commercial loggers are still cutting down trees that are protected by law, so this should be monitored. However, I don't really think that this is enough to stop the destruction as these people do not care or realize the importance of the rainforests but they have to do something as it is currently not working.
What can the government do to protect the amazon rain forest?
the people of Brazil kill anybody that looks like a poacher.!

Animals are suffering in the rain forest because people want to chop down the trees where all the animals live if there is no trees there are no animals.

How do saguaro and animals help each other?
In desert environtments, plants such as the saguaro cactus provide shade and nutrients to those animals who can brave their sharp spikes. The insides of these cacti hold a "milk" which can be drunk when water is scarce. Some small birds build nests inside.
In turn, animals carry the seeds of the catus to farther reaching parts of the desert, increasing its area of population.
Is there a wombat in the rainforest?
No. The Giant Wombat, better known as the Diprotodon, preferred more open country. Fossil evidence indicates that it inhabited semi-arid plains, savannahs and open woodlands. Fossils have not been located in hilly terrain or in forested coastal regions, or in areas at were once rainforests.
