Tropical Rainforest Biome

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.

The boreal forest, also known as tiaga, is the world’s largest land-based biome. This biome plays a great role in biodiversity and climate. It stretches across North America and Eurasia, taking up 11% of the earths land, and has no corresponding southern latitudes (Berg, 2012).

Vegetation is a key factor in determining the structure of an ecosystem. It determines many ecological parameters within a plant community such as microclimate, energy budged, photosynthesis, water regimes, surface runoff and soil temperature (Tappeiner and Cernusca, 1996). Vegetation of an area varies from place to place according to habitat heterogeneity of the area itself. The description and classification of the plant community in an ecosystem is known as Phytosociology (Braun-Blanquet, 1932; Odum, 1971). It’s an important characteristic in describing vegetation that offers a preliminary picture of the ecological character of the vegetation (Kershaw, 1973). Each site of study

Another primary terrestrial ecosystem is the taiga. The taiga biome is the most enormous biome in the world as it is situated only in the Northern Hemisphere, therefore stretching over vast parts of North America, Asia, and Europe. Climate in the taiga is very cold and it is made up of a wide variety of interesting surfaces. Kindred to a tundra, the taiga biome’s surface engenders a perpetually and permanent frozen ground called a permafrost during profoundly low temperatures. Though, on the contrary, normal temperatures causes the taiga’s surface to be more liquid than solid.This is due to the cause of bogs and an extensive soft carpet of moss on the forest floor. Rich affluent soil in the taiga additionally develops gradually because the

The tropical rainforest biome is located near the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, as well as along the equator.

The vegetation dominated biome, commonly known as the tropical rainforest, inhabits the most known and unknown plant and animal species in the world. The biome is located at the lower end of the equator, which brings constant warm and wet weather conditions during the daytime. Many tropical rainforests are located in the Central America and Australia regions. Overall, the Tropical Rainforest has great biodiversity and constant temperatures that make it such a distinct biome.

An earthquake by definition is violent vibrations caused by rocks breaking under huge amounts of stress. The underground surface that the rocks break are the edges of a tectonic plate or a fault plane.

The increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide is caused by anthropogenic impacts such as land usage and the burning of fossil fuels. The utilization of fossil fuels has exponentially risen after the Industrial Revolution. Therefore, the emissions of carbon dioxide have followed that trend as well since it is an emission from coal, oil, and gas. Using land for construction sites and industrialized farming leads to the deforestation of trees. Trees are primary carbon sinks for

Tropical forest ecosystems are found in areas near the equator, where temperatures are relatively consistently warm and precipitation and humidity are high. These factors create an rich environment that many different species can thrive, resulting in high biodiversity in the region, the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems according to Laurance, 2015. Provisioning services of tropical forests provide mainly food, water, and shelter to the organisms living there. The plant life of these forests also contribute a significant amount of the oxygen we need to survive into the atmosphere. This important ecosystem is being threatened by current issues.

     An Earthquake is the shaking of the earth's surface caused by rapid movement of the earth's rocky outer layer. The sudden shaking of the ground that occurs when masses of rock change position below the Earth's surface is called an earthquake. The shifting masses send out shock waves that may be powerful enough to alter the surface of the Earth, thrusting up cliffs and opening great cracks in the ground.

A Rainforest is a dense growing broad-leaved evergreen trees it is also known as a tall and strong jungle. The reason it is called a rainforest is because of the various amount of rainfall that it get in a year. The climate of a rain forest is very hot and humid so the animals and plants that exist there must learn to adapt to this climate. Rainforest can be found at places with high biodiversity. Biodiversity is variety of plant and animal life in the world or in a particular habitat, a high level of which is usually considered to be important and desirable.

Rainforest are found further north, or south from the equator, this is because they are found in coastal cooler regions. The Amazon rainforest is found in South America it covers two million square miles of land. South America has tropical heat and is wet. The equator cuts through South America around Ecuador. The equator is where warm, moist air rises that forms clouds, which produce a lot of rain. A majority of the land around the equator has tropical rainforests, and South America is home to the largest rainforest The Amazon Rainforest. Rainforest are substantial for vegetation this is because this biome has three different layers. The top layer is the canopy which is the tree tops that cover much of the land space with shade; this prevents too much sunlight reaching the ground which keeps the moisture in the ground. The second layer is the small plants such as ferns, vines and palm trees. The last layer is the ground which is covered wet leaves because the ground is moist this allows things to decompose quicker and send nutrients into the soil.

An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the earth due to the sudden release of energy, causing seismic waves that make the ground shake. This occurs when two tectonic plates push against each other until the force of friction is overcome releasing the built-up energy and allowing a small amount of movement of the plates. This movement of the tectonic plates produces the 4 types of seismic waves we feel in earthquakes, P waves, S waves, Love waves and Rayleigh waves.
