What continent has a rainforest called the lungs of the Earth?
The Lungs of the Earth is the Amazon Rainforest on the continent of South America.
What are slash and burn cultivation and shifting cultivation?
Slash and burn cultivation is where you cut down the vegetation, burn it, and then plow it into the ground. This typically gets used where most of the nutrients are tied up in the existing vegetation and the soil is nutrient poor - such as in rainforests.
Shifting cultivation is a form of agriculture, used especially in tropical Africa, in which an area of ground is cleared of vegetation and cultivated for a few years and then abandoned for a new area until its fertility has been naturally restored.
The two are clearly related, but in the case of slash and burn, the land is farmed until the nutrients are depleted. Also in slash and burn, the ground is usually extremely nutrient poor until the vegetation is burned and plowed into the ground. Slash and burn is a typical method used in shifting cultivation but not all shifting cultivation uses slash and burn.

Why do rainforest's have layers?
Because the different organisms need to compete for different resources. For example, if all the trees were at the same level, then no light would be able to get to the forest floor. If there are 4 layers, however, then the light can filter through the trees. This allows different organisms to have the right amount of each resource rather than them having to adapt to the different levels of sunlight, rainfall etc.
What are benefits and problems of mining in the Amazon Rainforest?
why is it importants for the humans
Group these as goods or services (include regulates
the composition of the atmosphere, maintains soil health and influences the hydrological cycle)
What are the challenges of conserving a rainforest?
The challenges are as follows:
Surrounding and within many of the world's rainforests are large, expanding populations of impoverished people who survive by subsistence farming (making enough food for themselves). Every few years, they have to clear new areas because the areas they were using to farm become infertile. Thus, they use up th jungle faster than it can repair. To solve this, we need a solution that works for both the people and the jungle, otherwise, the people wont listen to it.
Rainforests are isolated and hard to travel through. Therefore, illegal loggers and poachers can commit criminal activities of deforestation and hunting without being caught. In fact, the majority of the wood used by the whole world is illegally and irresponsibly harvested.
Why are golden leaf monkeys endangered in India?
because humans are taking over their habitat and the monkeys cant adapt to the environment that humans can
How have rainforest kangaroos adapted to the rainforest?
The only kangaroos which live in the rainforest are tree kangaroos. Tree kangaroos have a number of adaptations which enable them to live in this environment.
Why should you cut down trees for paper and furniture?
Because paper and furniture are a necessary tool for everyday life in todays society. People need furniture for their homes, and paper for school, speeding tickets, and a good number of other things. Luckily humans are required to plant one tree for every tree they cut down.
What are poachers and what do they do to the rainforest?
poachers are people who hunt illegally and they kill endangered animals in the rain forest.

How do you properly care for and maintain your awning and canopy?
The best way to maintain a canopy is to make sure its kept clean especially after it rains. It is also good to put it away during the winter months or even if there are heavy winds.
How can recycling cut down your carbon footprint?
Well it certainly means that ur lightening ur foot on earth basically meaning that the planet is getting better and your helping it out a lot instead of letting so much things well never use ever again like paper,it comes from trees and if we stop using it so much and throwing it away when it's blank means that your killing trees for no reason and sending it 2 the dump making the earth get covered in many kinds of trash. If u don't do anything related 2 this, yur basically lightening yur carbon footprint.
Accipiters, a genus of slender prey birds with long tails, rounded wings, and long legs is composed of approximately 50 species mostly in the Goshawk and Sparrowhawk groups. Many, like the Coopers Hawk and the Sharp-shinned Hawk ambush and eat small birds that they catch quickly using long sharp talons and then tear the meat apart with sharp hooked beaks.
Do Insects have a nervous system?
yes insects do have an nervous system that assists in their movement
How do you hydro fracture a water well?
Hydrofracturing is a technique first applied to oil and gas wells. Water wells which are drilled into rock can be treated with this to increase their water yield, or renew a low yielding well.
In a well, water flows from fissures into larger and larger fissures. A well is a collection point for water to flow from the cracks in the rock, collect, and be pumped out. The production rate of a well depends upon how many water bearing fissures connect to the well.
Over time, these cracks can become blocked, with silt, bacterial growth in the rock that creates crusts, oxidations, and precipitations of minerals.
* In hydrofracturing, a device is lowered into a well and a collar is pumped up. Then, high pressure water is used to fill the well and pressurize it to up to 3-4000 PSI. This essentially backflushes the well, by forcing water into the cracks, opening them up, and flushing out the contaminants. It also may establish new fractures through which water can connect and flow into the well. Sometimes, chemicals are added to enhance the process. The contents of the well are then pumped out.
Hydrofracturing can cause impressive gains to well flows. It typically costs about half as much as drilling a new well...which, itself has only a 50% chance of working better than the well replaced, since it is often drilled into the same formation, and the same things which happened to cause the first well to fail may cause the second to fail, or pump no better, than the first. Proponents of the technique believe that the pressure affects a 100 foot circle of rock around the treated well.
In some localities the technique has been banned because of belief that it will adversely affect other people's wells. In most cases, it does nothing, but some people whose wells are near a hydroshocked well have reported it improves their flow.
