Amazon Rainforest

The Interdependence of plants, animals, and humans is integral in the Amazon Rainforest ecosystem of the tropical rainforest biome. The key features of the Amazon Rainforest is the Amazon River. The Amazon Rainforest goes through Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and many other countries. Colombia has 10%, Brazil has 60%, and Peru has 13%. 80-90 degrees during the day and 50 degrees at night is the temperature of the Amazon Rainforest. There are dry and wet seasons. it gets 9 to 10 feet of rain a year. The terrain is in the Amazon Rainforest are rocky mountains, wetlands , plains, valleys, rivers, streams, and highlands. The dirt is poor with very few nutrients and it is very muddy. It is also dense with trees and rotting logs. The thin topsoils, made of decaying vegetable and animal parts, take up all the nutrients. In the Amazon Rainforest there 's the Congo River, the Rio Negro, and the Amazon River.

Did you know that the rainforest is a fantastic biome? It has three parts that make it special. The forest is also home to more plant life than any other. It’s pretty big. Rainforests have a climate and appearance, producers, and consumers specific to the ecosystem.

It all started when I decided to go to the rainforest to explore new animal species. My helicopter had a random malfunction and fell into into the middle of nowhere, leaving me stranded in the middle of the rainforest. My only supplies that I could find was a single flare shot, emergency food rations and some rope. My first concern is finding water. I grabbed my supplies and started heading down a trail of mud and flattened grass. After about an hour of walking the sun started to set. I noticed a large tree that had huge wide leafs. I could use these leaves and sticks to form a temporary place to sleep. I started to gather up sticks to shape sort of a tipi. Then I laid the large leaves on the top and sides, and put one inside the fort to lay

They wanted to continue their traditional way of life. The Native Amazonians came to the rainforest in 1960. Also, -did you know that the rainforests cover about 6 percent of the Eearth’s surface. A thousand years ago rainforests covered 12 percent of Eearth’s surface. Loggers,Rubber trappers,Settlers and Cattle Ranchers came to the Amazon rainforest in the 1960s. Men in the rainforest do hunting. They hunt deer ,monkey, and tapir. The father,mother and children go fishing. Woman take care of the children and cook. What do the Cattle Ranchers do in the Amazon Rainforest? What do the Native Amazonians do in the

The Native Amazonians want to preserve the Amazon Rainforest because it is their home and has been for the past 12,000 years and they don’t seem to be moving anytime soon. One and a half acres of rainforest is being cut down every second. The Amazon is being destroyed at the rate of 20,000 acres per year. It is predicted that the Amazon will be gone in only 50 years. They don’t know anything else but home.

There were once 10,000,000 million Native Amazonians living in brazil. Today that number has gotten smaller. Those who remain want one thing more then anything: to continue their traditional way of life(a sustainable way of life).

The Amazon Rainforest is the largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world. Some of the different groups that are interested in the Amazon Rainforest are the Native Amazonians, Rubber Tappers, Loggers, Settlers, Environmental Groups, and Cattle Ranchers.All of the groups in the Amazon all desire or want parts of the Amazon Rainforest.Some of the groups just want more land and some just want power.

The Amazon rainforest, the most extensive of existing natural forests in the world, occupies an area of ​​approximately 5.5 x 106 km2, and the Brazilian side covers 3.85 x 106 km2, representing 45% of the country. A major source of warming of the atmosphere, except for a narrow range over the oceans extending parallel to the equator are the equatorial portions of the continents, which mostly are still covered by natural forests, including the Amazon.

Rainforests are woodland of tall trees growing in a region with year-round warmth, and abundant rainfall. Tropical rainforest are only located 6 to 7% of the Earth's surface but they support more than half the world's plants and animals. In spite of the benefits, people cut down thousands of square miles of rainforest each year for its resources like medicine and food. Since most of the plants and animals live in rainforest most of the Earth's plants and animals are dying and being endangered. There are still many rainforest left around the world. They are mostly found in the lower part of the equator.

On the article “Amazon rainforest losing ability to regulate climate, scientist warns” discuss that Amazon rainforest’s capacity of regulate the weather climate is becoming lower now and its a problem because it might be connected with others problems in the world for example the plaguing Sao Paulo. Scientists noticed the if the forests problems become bigger the consequences will become worse and what was the possible cause at the plaguing in Sao Paulo. The author said that before the problem in Sao Paulo people known about the problems and had a lot of alarms there, but now they will finally pay attention in what is occurring in the world and hopes that they do something to change this scenario.

Orchids use many adaptations to help survive in the tropical rainforest such as pollinating and having roots that serve many purposes. These roots are very important because they collect nutrients from the soil for the plant and can store large quantities of water that is useful when in dry times. The orchid uses photosynthesis to make food. Snails and sloths eat the flowers and stems. But, these little insects called aphids are the real problem to the orchids, they practically destroy them by injecting a harmful virus when they

Rainforests, home of the jazzy jaguar, the shy sloth, the trendy toucan and the spry spider monkey, these animals are being forced out of their homes and ruining their way of life because a little thing called deforestation. According to the Pachamama Alliance, “Deforestation is the clearing, destroying, or otherwise removal of trees through deliberate, natural or accidental means. It can occur in any area densely populated by trees and other plant life, but the majority of it is currently happening in the Amazon rainforest” (Alliance). Deforestation is making it harder and harder for the animals of Rainforests to survive because it takes away homes for some of the animals and in turn messes up the food chain for these animals.

The Amazon rainforest is the world’s largest rainforest. A rainforest is forest know for its high rainfall, these forests tend to be packed with many species. The forest is 5,500,000 km2 and is in several countries of South America. 60% of the forest is in Brazil, with 13% in Peru, 10% in Colombia and minor parts in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. This forested is estimated to be made up of 390 billion trees and one 10th of the know species on planet earth live there.

Tropical rainforests are among the most threatened ecosystems due to large scale as a result of human activity. Habitat fragmentation caused by geological processes such as volcanism and climate change occurred in the past, and have been identified as important drivers . However, fast human driven habitat destruction is suspected to be one of the major causes of species.Tropical rain forests have been subjected to heavy logging and agricultural clearance throughout the 20th century, and the area covered by rainforests around the world is shrinking.

The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world it covers 6.7 million square kilometers which are larger than the area of Europe (About, 1). It extends from the low slopes of the Andes to the Atlantic coast of Brazil and supplies 20% of the world’s oxygen (Why is, 1). It is home to thousands of species of flora and fauna and hosts indigenous tribes who rely on the land to survive. In recent years, with the development of science and technology, the rapid growth of standards of living across the world the more resources are needed at an alarming rate to keep up with demand. Industrialization has brought the world countless luxuries which many would argue are modern necessities. In order to meet the needs of others; in Brazil, there is currently a financial crisis plaguing the country and is faced with the moral dilemma to provide employment opportunities for millions or protect their ecosystems which are vital for the health of the Earth. Today, the Amazon rainforest faces various problems such as deforestation, extinction of flora and fauna, desertification, and the interruption of indigenous tribes.
