Rainforests

One advantage is that they hold a wide variety of floral, fauna and wildlife. they are a source of oxygen and fresh air

One disadvantage is that they produce more greenhouse gases then all of mankind. The rotting vegetation is a known source of far more CO2 and methane then man produces altogether.

Pineapple , papaya , kiwi , bananas , lemon , coconuts.

other food from the rainforest is

chocolate

popcorn

col

salsa

cashews (nut)

eggplants

vanilla

ginger

kola nut (used for making coca cola)

and onions

Plants that can be found in the understory layer of the rainforest include ferns, shrubs, young trees, and vine plants. These plants have adapted to lower light levels and compete for sunlight in the dense canopy above. Some examples are ferns like bird's nest ferns, shrubs like understory palms, and vines like vanilla orchids.

rainforests are important because trees make oxygen, and if the rainforests wil disappear, a lot of rainforest animals, such as the touucan, the jaguar and the macaw, will disappear with them.

The Amazon rainforest produced 20% of the entire world's oxygen, as it is rich in plants. When it's being destroyed, the oxygen levels will affect us.

25% of all pharmaceutical drugs come from the plants in the rainforest. 99% of the rainforest has yet to been tested. Scientists know of potential ingredients that can be found in the rain forests that can create drugs to treat cancer, Alzheimer's, AIDS, and many others. Unfortunately, scientists also believe that all rain forests, including the Amazon, will be destroyed within the next 40 years (every second 1.5 acres are burned, logged, and/or cleared away.). So very likely, by the time we can actually find a cure for cancer or AIDs, the Amazon rainforest will be destroyed, because many landowners and timber harvesters believe the rainforest to be only as valuable as the resource inside of it.

Cutting down any forest affects humans, and the natural cycles of all living things. At some point in the future we as humans may upset the natural balance of the Earth, and cutting down forests may be taking us closer to upsetting that balance.

The tallest tree in Arkansas is 120 feet high and 14 wide and 143 feet around. It is located at the White River National Wildlife refuge and is a Bald Cypress tree.

Yes, children in tropical rainforest areas typically attend school like children in other regions. In some cases, schools may be situated in rural areas or may face challenges like extreme weather, but efforts are made to provide education to children in these environments.

The Amazon Rainforest is considered one of the hottest rainforests in the world due to its location near the equator, which results in consistently high temperatures and humidity. Other hot rainforests include the Congo Rainforest and the Indonesian Rainforest.

The Huli mainly hunt possums, bandicoots, tree kangaroos and birds. They hunt using bows made of black palm with cane string. They do not hunt pigs as the pigs are domesticated. The majority of hunting is done at night for possums. The major game bird is the cassowary and these are hunted normally by a group of men using dogs. The Dog which is very similar to a dingo is an essential hunting companion to the Huli. In recent time most of the hunting is done with home made shotguns.

The rainforest floor has limited light reaching it due to the dense canopy above, so plants receive less sunlight for photosynthesis. Additionally, the thick layer of decaying organic matter on the forest floor also restricts the growth of plants and hinders photosynthesis.

A rainforest ecosystem can support up to five trophic levels, including producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and decomposers. The high biodiversity and energy availability in rainforests allow for the existence of multiple trophic levels.

No, meerkats do not live in the rainforest. They are found in the savannas and dry grasslands of southern Africa. Meerkats are well adapted to these arid environments where they dig burrows to escape heat and predators.

Deserts, mountains, and tropical rainforests have all acted as natural barriers, shaping the development of civilizations by limiting interactions between regions and fostering unique cultures. For example, mountains like the Himalayas have isolated societies, preserving distinct traditions. Deserts like the Sahara have posed challenges to trade and migration, influencing the movement of people and goods. Tropical rainforests provide biodiversity that has influenced agriculture, medicine, and patterns of settlement for indigenous communities.

Rainforests have been significantly reduced over the past 100 years due to deforestation for agriculture, logging, and development. This has led to habitat loss, loss of biodiversity, and increased carbon dioxide emissions, contributing to climate change. Efforts are being made to protect and restore rainforests to combat these negative impacts.

The tallest living Christmas tree is located in Boise, Idaho, USA and stands at approximately 122 feet tall.

Switzerland has a temperate climate with distinct seasons. The weather can vary significantly throughout the year, experiencing warm summers and cold winters. The climate in Switzerland is influenced by its diverse topography, with higher altitudes often being cooler than lower-lying areas.

Yes, cocoa beans are primarily grown in tropical regions, including rainforests. Cocoa trees thrive in areas with high humidity, rainfall, and shade, making rainforests ideal for their cultivation.

the reason it rains in the afternoon in the rainforest is because during the night there is no sun to heat the air or the ground which means there is no energy to start the convection rainfall cycle but towards the afternoon the air and ground warms so the process can begin

The tallest trees, the emergent layer, can be over 200ft (60m) tall. The canopy layer is about 30-40m (100-130 ft). The understorey layer is about 15-30m and the shrub layer is about 8m tall.

The Kapok tree is believed to be the biggest tree of the Amazon rainforest, as it can grow to 200 feet tall and the trunk can be 10 or 11 feet in diameter.

Smooth bark in trees helps to prevent water from accumulating, which can lead to rot or disease in the humid rainforest environment. Additionally, it makes it difficult for climbing vines and epiphytes to get a foothold and compete for light and nutrients. Overall, smooth bark is an adaptation that helps trees thrive in the challenging conditions of the rainforest.

The movie you are referring to is "The Dark Divide" starring David Cross. It tells the story of a man who embarks on a transformative journey through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in search of the elusive blue butterfly while dealing with personal challenges.

A Tropical Smorgasbord is a collection or assortment of various tropical foods, dishes, or flavors typically found in regions near the equator. This can include fruits like mangoes and pineapples, seafood such as shrimp and fish, and dishes like jerk chicken or coconut curry. It's a feast of tropical delights.

WELL to be away from predators. To hide their food in the trees so bears do not eat it if it was left on the ground or dug up. To keep their young safe from preadtors Some animals like owls can see very well from higher distances so they would beable to see a mouse from in a 100ft tree! And some animals like squirels live in trees to highbernate in the winter so they store their nuts in the trees for the winter highbernation! Monkeys are made to swing from tree to tree in the rainforest and to look for bannanas and such I HOPE THAT ANWSERS IT :]
