How was the petrified forest formed?
In the water table you have silicates and many other minerals in solution this is the factor that makes the material petrified or agateized.....The silicate is quartz in micron size`s, And the carbon of the material in the ash will act as a magnet for the silicate to form the fossilization of said material.
It takes One Billion gallons of water to suspend 1.5 Lbs. of silica. As for the Great un-known flood of about 6500 years age, Petrified & agateized material takes much longer to form.
In my area it is along the lines of 35 Million Bp. ( Bp ...Before present Time. )
Rivers are kept full by thawing snow in higher elevations that run downhill for centuries along the same path....as time goes by, the river digs deeper and deeper into the ground. There are actually lots of rivers in the deserts, they are all just covered up by sand and underground.

When rain falls, some of it sinks into the ground, but not of it. The water that flows over land is called surface runoffor overland flow. Overland flows remove soil and rock, and carve out channels and streams. These channels eventually deepen into rivers.
What is a tropical rainforest?
The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50 to 260 inches (125 to 660 cm.) of rain falls yearly.
Rain forests belong to the tropical wet climate group. The temperature in a rain forest rarely gets higher than 93 °F (34 °C) or drops below 68 °F (20 °C); average humidity is between 77 and 88%; rainfall is often more than 100 inches a year
How do you determine what kind of amp wiring kit you need?

Interspecific competition occurs when two or more species-populations require some resource (typically food or space), but the resource is not abundant enough to support all of them at the sizes they would attain in the absence of the other species-populations.

Why does water have surface question?
I think you mean surface tension. Water has surface tension because water is a polar molecule, meaning the opposite sides of the molecule do not share electrons equally. This means that one end of the water molecule has a positive charge and the other has a negative one. The Law of Electromagnetic Force tells us that opposite charges attract each other. So, at the surface, where there is no water above it, the top layer of water molecules allighn themselves and because of the attractive forces in the charged particles, they "stick" together. This is surface tension.

How well rye grass plants grow in rain forest?
Rye grass is not well-adapted to the dense shade, high humidity, and competition from other species in rainforest conditions. It is best suited to open areas with plenty of sunlight and well-drained, fertile soil. In rainforests, native plant species are better adapted to thrive in the unique conditions of the ecosystem.
