Tropical Rainforest Biome

As a result of deforestation and other causes, as few as 10,000 species go extinct every year, with a multitude lost in the rainforests across the world. The Amazon Rainforest, the largest rainforest in the world, houses roughly, “40,000 plant species, 427 mammals, 1,300 birds, 378 reptiles, and around 3,000 freshwater fish,” as well as more than 100,000 of invertebrate species (Amazon Wildlife). The rapid loss of the Amazon rainforest, precisely 17% in the last fifty years, critically cripples the biodiversity of the rainforest. To explain, every vehicle that destroys any sort of foliage is a loss to the animals that live in the forest. As known, every animal consumes a multitude of different plants or animals, and the more plants in the area,

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.

Biomes are appropriate conditions for organizing the natural world because the organisms that live in them common constellations of adaptations, particularly the climate of each of the areas and the characteristic vegetation types that develops in these divisions. It should be understood that the climate is perhaps the most important in determining classes of individuals who may live in an area and the ways they should be amended to live under different conditions of temperature and precipitation and seasonal distribution of these factors element. Every place on Earth has its own climate, influenced by both macroclimate regions as the particular microclimate. The soils are very important because they are essential to determine the types of plants that will grow into a bioclimatic zone in partical, in addition, also as substrates for animals serve. In turn, the soils are heavily influenced by regional climate, as well as the geology of the bedrock. At the same time we have to keep in mind the diversity of plants like the flora just like the diversity of the fauna as well as the adaptation of both.

My biome is Temperate Rainforest, the animal I will be talking about is a grizzly bear and my plant is a tree. The Grizzly bear is the key member to the Temperate Rainforest. With the Grizzly strong jaw he/she can take down any sort of prey. Throughout the winter Grizzly bears hibernate and conserve there energy. During spring time the Grizzly bears thick claws help them swipe at fish. When new cubs are welcome to the Temperate Rainforest they have to stay with their mom for 2-3 years, only to make sure they can survive on their own. This means after the cubs turn three their parents leave them to be alone in the world. Grizzly bears are omnivores they can eat seeds, berries, roots, and deer. Male grizzly bears can grow about up to 6.5-8

The tropical rainforest biome is an ecosystem covering around 6% of the Earth’s surface and being a home to over 50% of the plant and animal species. These environments are hot and humid all year round, with the average amount of rainfall being 250cm per year. The temperatures in a rain forest minimum tends to be around 20OC with the temperature not rising above 34OC regularly. Tropical rainforests are found spanning from both sides of the equator between the tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn meaning rainforests are in Central and South America, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia.

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.

In this wild biome lies many, there are many land animals and many water animals like alligators that try to kill those who go and try to get a drink of water like elephants, deer, zebras, and other type of animals. Lion there are king because of how they hunt their prey and vicious they are, but they have to make a name for themselves because of the other predators trying to kill the lion. The savanna biome also has one of the best views of the sun going down when it's starting to get dark. This biome is dry and hot, it is a good place to visit and see other animals that you haven't seen because there are many types living in this biome. The soil here is really thin because they consume water rapidly and it is dry which is hard to make the soil stay alive, but the soil does provide vegetation and nutrients.

In the forests of Argentina where the trees stand tall and the soil is moist and fertile, live a variety of dwelling species who are extremely adaptive to the moderate and constant environment. The temperate deciduous forest has a great beauty and countless wonders that make it stand out from many other biomes. With its indifferent temperature and substantial habitats, many animals, like the crab-eating fox, are able to inhabit the environment with the use of many essential adaptations. The very fertile and rich-nutrients soil allow many magnificent vegetation to thrive and succeed. With temperate meaning “not to extreme” or “in moderation” and deciduous meaning “to fall off,” there would

To begin, climate plays a major role in the creation and maintenance of soil. Firstly, wind can blow soil to a different area. In the 1930s, there was a drought in the prairies and topsoil blew away. The soil was dry and all the vegetation died, so it was light and the wind blew the topsoil away, exposing the subsoil. This greatly reduced the amount of topsoil in the prairies. Secondly, rain supports growth of plants, creating more humus from plant decay. In the west coast forest vegetation region, there is a lot of precipitation, which supports plant growth. The large amounts of precipitation in the west coast of canada supports the plant growth. After the plants grow, they eventually die and decay, turning into humus. This fertilizes the

The biome I chose was the tropical rain forest. The tropical rain forest has lots of dangerous and interesting animals. The tropical rain forest has a 70-85F weather all year long. The climate is warm but damp and wet. Tropical rain forests can be found between 30N- 30S. The tropical rain forest is full of life providing a habitat for lots of plants, flowers, and trees. The rain forest has a lot of dangers such as rainfall= 80-400 inches of rainfall per year. The tropical rain forest is a great place that is filled with life and is one of the most beautiful biomes in the world.

In the season spring it is rainy, hot, wet, and steamy. As you can see from the map, the tropical rainforests are indeed located in the tropics a band around the equator from 23.5 N (the Tropic of Cancer) to 23.5 S (the Tropic of Capricorn because the earth tilts 23.5 degrees on its axis as it travels around the sun at some point in the year (June 22nd in the north, December 22nd in the south) the sun will be directly overhead on one of these lines. At the equinoxes the sun is directly over the equator. Thats what makes the rainforest so

The savanna biome is mostly made up of grass but there are a few trees. Because of the availability of grass in the savanna, there are many grazing animals who take advantage of this abundant food supply. The savanna biome is rich with herbivores such as elephants, zebras, gazelles, and buffalo. The largest part of the savanna biome is located in Africa.

I decided to do my presentation on biomes but not just any biome, I decided on the Tropical Rainforest. The tropical rainforest biome is an ecosystem that covers 6 percent of the earth. They are found all over the earth but the majority lie in South America. Tropical rainforests are defined by their hot and wet climate. The average temperature in this area is around 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. These areas often get up to 12 hours of sunlight due to being located on the Earths equator. Obviously, since it’s called a rainforest, it gets a lot of rain. Most rainforests get up to 100 inches of rain annually. Because of this warm, wet climate, the rainforest is an ideal habitat for a wide range fauna and flora. Some examples of the fauna that live

Students will work in groups to read about and research the rainforest during a habitat unit. They will read a magazine article that teaches about the animals and characteristics of the rainforest. The article will also discuss the deconstruction of the rainforest and why these rainforests are important to take care of. Students will read each section of the article and highlight the key words that they believe are important to each section. Students will then record these key words on their main idea graphic organizer which they will go back to after reading the whole article. After reading the whole article the students will use the highlighted key words and the text to develop a main idea statement to record. Students will then record three important facts from each section and record these on sticky notes. Students will transfer these sticky notes onto their group’s main idea graphic organizer where these will serve as the supporting details. The group’s graphic organizer will serve as a scaffold for the four squares foldable each student will make. This four square foldable will eventually be used by students to help guide them throughout their expository writing piece on

Animals have survived in the rainforest through many different ways. Rainforests are some of the most diverse and dangerous biomes found on earth. There are many tropical rainforests in South America, Southeast Asia, and small islands around the equator. Adaptations allow the organism to thrive by adjusting its appearance, living skills, and habits to change with the environment to better fit into a niche. Many animals survive due to the many adaptations they have made over hundreds of years.
