The Rainforest During A Habitat Unit

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.

My team has discovered a new population of sloths in the Amazon Rainforest. The team has a job of figuring out three things regarding these sloths. The team has to determine if the new population is evolving, how it is related to other sloth populations near it, and if it is a different species than the other sloth populations.

The Joshua tree has two ways of obtaining and saving water through its root systems, it has a shallow system that runs just beneath the ground and it has a deeper system that goes about 30 feet under the earth and is larger in

Planet Earth is home to many things. It's home to humans, animals, plants, bacteria, living, non-living things, everything really. All of these things aren't exactly in one place, which is why there are many biomes, environments and ecosystems in existence. Forest ecosystems are full of life, whether it's animals or plants. They all have different traits and characteristics such as climate/temperature and location. The Amazon Rainforest is an example of a type of forest.

Have you ever thought about what the Tropical Rainforest is? Where the rainforest is located, the animals, climate, dangers or threats to the forest? Some people think that the rainforest is just some other forest, but their wrong! The rainforest is the most important forest in the U.S. You should go check it out!

Imagine you are a care-free monkey, swinging from tree to tree in the canopy of a rainforest. You start to hear a low rumble in the distance. "Must be a thunderstorm," you think. Suddenly, the noise surrounds you, there is a roaring in your ears, and trees start to fall from all around you. Your tree collapses, and you catch a glimpse of a giant machine. You let out a feeble call, and you are no more. This is no horror movie, this is real life. All around the world, rainforests, their ecosystem, and their wildlife is being destroyed.

The Amazon: Once an unbound place of dreams, now just a relinquished rainforest bled in heavenly pain from which the mortal men reap their holy resources. Nevertheless it is still mystical with its sun kissed heat and unforgiving humidity, this is truly an eternally endless land that flourishes into the distance…

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.

After my research, I have found that the tropical rainforest is very important because they help maintain global weather and rain patterns. Tropical rainforests are also warm all year round, its temperature barely changes from day to night. The tropical rainforest is pretty wet from all that rain and has high humidity. The vegetation in a rainforest is very green with very different heights. There are three major layers of vegetation. The first and top layer is called the canopy, it is made up of large trees , the second layer is the understory, it is made up of vines, smaller trees, and ferns, the third and bottom layer is called the floor, it is covered with wet leaves and leaf litter. Many famous mountains and rivers are found in the rainforest, such as, Mount Kilimanjaro, Amazon river, and Angel Falls. Heavy vegetation causes the rain to take up to ten minutes to reach the ground.

The Amazon, is the world's largest rainforest. It’s the world's most dominant rainforest in geographic, and variant ways. For example, it is larger than the Congo Basin and Indonesia — combined. The “Basin” of this massive landscape compares to the size of the forty-eight contiguous United States; it covers around 40 percent of the South American continent. Almost two-thirds of the Amazon rainforest is located in Brazil. It also is thought to have 2.5 million species of insects. More than half the species that inhabit the mighty ecosystem of the Amazon rainforest are thought to live in the canopy.

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.

The canopy in a rainforest is a dense layer of intersecting branches and leaves that support most of the forest’s life. Creatures such as sloths, birds, monkeys, snakes, insects, and frogs can be found in the amazon jungle’s canopy. They live there to keep away from the predators on the forest floor, and because of the large supply of fruit and nuts that grow in the canopy. While these are good reasons for living way up in the trees, there are a few downsides. A large amount of the sunlight is absorbed by the canopy, making it an extremely hot climate. Because of this constant source of light energy, the leaves use it to create oxygen. Another downside is impaired vision. The leaves and branches that make up the canopy are so dense,
