A tiaga is mostly cold and a tropical rain forest is warm and wet For a climate TRUE

How does the soil affect the vegetation in the rain forest?

It doesn't. Rainforest climate influences the soil.

Soils are the result of a number of interrelated environmental factors, including climate and the organisms that live in and on the soil (mostly plants and microbes, but other living things can have a significant influence).

The climate of the rainforest causes a lot of leaching of soluble and partially soluble materials in soils, so most rainforest soils are characterized by low natural fertility.

Names of animals who live in rainforest?

How many animals die each day from the Rainforest being cut down?

A survey across the world this year and last year found that there was over 23 million killed each year.

(Comment on this: This figure is impossibly low, particularly when insects are considered. I think it's a safe bet that more than this number of insects are killed when a single acre of rainforest land is destroyed).

What does African Ebony tree look like?

It's hard to describe how it looks different from other trees. The key difference is that the wood toward the center of the trunk is the dark "ebony" color while wood toward the outer part of the inside of the trunk is lighter colored.

Because of the sources that cannot be found anywhere else in the world such as: medicine, plants, animals, trees, retiles, amphibians, soils and minerals. If we carry on the way we are, these source will be extinct.

Do mosquitos live in the rain forest?

What are the dominant animals in the tropical rain forest?

Plants: (Again, there are many plants)DONT LISTIN TO THIS

strangler figs, lianas, bromeliads, venus fly traps, etc.

Hope this helps :)

What interdependence is found in the rainforest?

Depending on each other.

Unable to exist or survive without each other interdependence.

In every environment plants and animals depend on each other for food and shelter, protection and community.

The survival of different species depends on the health of ecological systems that may be near or far away.

Which country has the world's largest rainforest?

The Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, and with minor amounts in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana.

Where do sloths live in rainforest?

It has adapted by being slow so no predator can see them as they climb trees. Also green algae grows on them so they blend in with the trees.

They also have long arms to help them with their strong swimming, also, they have long claws to help them grip/hang onto trees.

How do you build a house in the Amazon rainforest?

They make there homes out of bamboo and straw and sticks, there is no floor on the house just dry mud.

Is cutting down the rainforest really that bad?

For one thing, trees are a beauty of nature and we're destroying it.

Second, animals make homes in these tree. If all these trees are cut down, where are they going to live?

Lastly, trees are very enviormental friendly. They help clean our air. Taking them down, we're making a dirtier enviorment.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of science and technology in life span?

Science and technology can cure your diseases, provide shelter and food for crowds of people, enable the creation of large cities to allow collaboration in enterprises, and perhaps even more.

However an increase in mechanisation and automation has reduced the amount of work people are required to do to survive / gain nutrition. To the point where people may be almost entirely sedentary. That combined with the increase in processed high fat high calorie foods has led to problems in developed countries of obesity, heart disease and related problems.

Military technology makes it quicker and more efficient to kill people than ever before, which directly gives a shorter lifespan.

The indirect consequences of military technology are less clear -- it may be that people using the military technology to better defend themselves may live longer than they otherwise would have, and over the long term the threat of extinction from superweapons may cause nations to go to war much less often than in the times of the Caesar.

It may also be worth considering the fact that a lot of the improvements in technology and medicine are ultimately derived from the vast R+D budgets applied to the design of military equipment or through the medical treatment of those people injured during war.

Some broad examples include the development of plastic / reconstructive surgery to treat disfigured soldiers who had been injured in World War one. More recent examples include the development of new dressings which are much better at stemming blood loss and were introduced into service by the British Army in 2006 during the Afghan conflict and greatly reduce the risk of soldiers dying on the battlefield from blood loss before they reach medical facilities. Other improvements in methods are detailed in the related links. Ultimately as a large number of doctors in the British Armed forces are part of the Territorial army - What in other armed forces are referred to as reserves or National guardsman, they go back to their medical jobs in British Hospitals in the NHS and what they have learned filters down into the treatment of accident victims at home away from the battlefield.

Another obvious innovation is most likely the screen your currently looking at, along ultimately with the computer technology you are using. A significant portion of the initial R&D budget for Flat panel LCD screens was provided by the military as they are significantly lighter and smaller than the CRT screens they replaced. This was of great importance as these screens form a major part of the display of information in modern combat and civilian aircraft. As the technology matured, the costs dropped and they became affordable for home use. Now the vast majority of people use a flat screen LCD monitor or television over the older CRT screens. The first digital programmable electronic computers were developed during World War two (known as the Colossus machines) to help decipher encrypted German messages and most likely helped the Allies win World War Two.
