Technically it never really rains frogs, but this happens when a tornado happens to go through a marsh or swamp, picks up some frogs, and drops them sometimes even miles away from the place where they were taken.
How do amazon rain forest trees and plants help us?
It improves the health of the entire planet
It stores a lot of carbon dioxide
It's plant biodiversity provides potential medicines

How much percent does the oceans produce worlds oxygen?
Current thinking places it at between 50 to 85 percent, depending on time of year and the state of phytoplankton bloom.
What are the different kinds of stain removers?
Lemon juice can remove some stains, which we at home have found very effective- especially on my brand new white linen trousers!
Why is the canopy and understory populated by so many animals?
the canopy and understorey are populated by so many animals because it is safer for the animals that have preditores on the forest floor
What establishments are covered under SIC 3633 Household Laundry Equipment?
This classification covers establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing laundry equipment, such as washing machines, dryers, and ironers, for household use, including coin-operated equipment
Why silver iodide is preferred for artificial rain?
Solid silver iodide is preferred as a nucleator for artificially stimulated rain because its crystal lattice parameters are close to those of ice, and for that reason are more effective than other salts in causing small ice crystals in clouds to melt.
What is one animal that lives in rain forests near the equator?
there are thousands of species that live there, you have to be more specific
Does most rainfall soak into the soilhow much rain runs off?
This strongly depends on the kind of soil and on the vegetation on it. When rain hits rocky ground in a desert, a very large part of the water will just run off quickly. Earthy soil that is kept in place by the roots of trees, bushes, grass, etc., and the vegetation itself growing on it, can of course absorb a much larger part of the water, and keep it stored for a longer time. Very rough average numbers could be given as follows: Of the overall precipitation, about a quarter runs off quickly, around a tenth sinks down to the ground water and then runs off slowly, and the rest, somewhat more than half, stays in the soil and the vegatation longer and is finally reemitted by evaporation and plant transpiration.
What is the compost on the forest floor known as?
Litterfall is one of many names for compost on the forest floor.
Specifically, compost designates organic matter that results from the breakdown of dead, decaying, decomposing animal and plant matter. The accumulation of dead and dying material in forests includes a number of contributions from plants in fhe form of bark, branches, leaves, needles, spent blooms, stems, and twigs. Other terms range from duff to plant, leaf, soil and tree litter.
What is the effect of acid rain on natural habitats?
explain the role of acid rain in habitat destruction
Why do cut tulips continue to grow?
Cut tulips continue to grow because of phototropism. When cut and placed in a vase, the tulips bend towards the light, and so they elongate.
How do you correct a water logged water tank?
Want to try de-waterlogging yourself? Here's how to do it right!
- Turn off the power to the pump at the switch or breaker. Also if there is a valve between the pump and the tank, turn it off. If this valve is broken or leaking, now is an excellent time to change it; if the pressure gauge needs replacing, do that also, after step 2!
- Open a faucet close to the tank, preferably one that is as low to the ground as possible to facilitate draining.
- When the water slows to a trickle, find a way to introduce air into the tank. This may be done by taking out a fitting or plug in the side of the tank, preferably close to the center of the tank, or using a small air compressor to put air into a tire valve-style fitting on the side or bottom of the tank. Either way, the idea is to get most of the water out of the tank, and replace it with air. If your pump motor is in the well, you can empty the tank of water completely without problems. If you have a jet pump, where the motor is visible next to the wellhead, you should leave about 1/2 of the water in the tank, in order to keep some water for priming the pump. In fact, it is a good idea to fill several buckets with water before you turn the pump off, just in case! NOTE: Do not pressurize the tank with air instead of draining it - you can put too much air into the system, and cause some rather interesting problems and no end of frustration for yourself!!
- When you have sufficient air in the tank, turn off the air and faucet, and turn the pump back on. Open the valve between the pump and tank just enough to keep the pump running, but do not let the pressure drop below 20 lbs. until the tank is full.
- If you can't get it running right, call us (or your nearest pump professional)!! We'll gladly help you over the phone if possible, or give you a hand in person, if you are in the local area
You didn't say if this is a galvanized tank or a bladder tank. There is a large difference between the two. Is your tank painted with a name on it? If so what name and model # if possible?
