(200 cm) of rain per year. Canopy: rainforests
have a canopy, which is the layer of branches
and leaves formed by closely spaced
rainforest trees [picture]. Most of the plants
and animals in the rainforest live in the
canopy.Through July 2019 over 7,200 square
miles of the Brazilian rainforest has
burned—an aggregated area nearly the size of
New Jersey. Fires caused by humans and
deforestation look different. ... So far,
though, this year hasn't been particularly dry,
which makes the already-notable number of
fires even more alarming, he says.”

Rainforests are forests characterized by
high and continuous rainfall, with annual
rainfall in the case of tropical
rainforests between 2.5 and 4.5 metres
(98 and 177 in) and definitions varying
by region for temperate rainforests.It is
the world's largest rainforest and spans
nine countries in total, covering 40% of
South America. The Amazon represents
over half of the planet's remaining
rainforests and is home to an estimated
390 billion individual trees divided into
16,000 specie.

There are two types of rainforests tropical and temperate. Tropical and
temperate rainforests share certain characteristics. For example, most trees
flare at the base. Vegetation is dense, tall and very green.

Forest: An area with high density of trees is called a forest. A forest is a

system which is composed of plants, animals and microorganisms. Forest as

Habitat: Forest is the habitat for a variety of living beings. Many plants,

animals and microbes live in the forest. ... The branches of a tree make its

crown.The living parts include trees, shrubs, vines, grasses and other

herbaceous (non-woody) plants, mosses, algae, fungi, insects, mammals, birds,

reptiles, amphibians, and microorganisms living on the plants and animals and in

the soil. Layers of a Rainforest. LAYERS OF A RAINFOREST. EMERGENT

LAYER. The tallest trees are the emergents, towering as much as 200 feet

above the forest floor with trunks that measure up to 16 feet around. Most of

these trees are broad-leaved, hardwood evergreens.Answered Oct 22, 2019 ·

are commonly called woodlots in some parts of the country,especially in New

There are three major
types of forests,
classed according to
latitude:

● Tropical.
● Temperate.
● Boreal forests

forests provide us with shelter,
livelihoods, water, food and fuel
security. All these activities
directly or indirectly involve
forests. Some are easy to
figure out - fruits, paper and
wood from trees, and so on”

Trees contribute to their environment by providing oxygen,
improving air quality, climate amelioration, conserving water,
preserving soil, and supporting wildlife. During the process of
photosynthesis, trees take in carbon dioxide and produce the
oxygen we breathe.Background: All papers everywhere are made
from a pulp mixture derived from fiber materials. The most
common papers today come from wood fiber pulp from cut trees.
... We use the poo fibers from elephants, cows, horses, donkeys,
Thai buffalos, and others to make our POOPOOPAPER
products.Paper is a thin material produced by pressing together
moist fibres of cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or
grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets. It is a versatile
material with many uses, including writing, printing, packaging,
cleaning, decorating, and a number of industrial and construction
processes.

Each individual plant and animal could not exist by itself on

planet Earth. All living organisms need millions of other living

organisms to survive. How these organisms interact with the sun,

soil, water, air frefvfand each other in a

specific area is called an ecosystem.An ecosystem describes a

specific area where the organisms work together as a unit. It

could be any size from a tiny pool of water to hundreds of square

miles of desert. Each ecosystem is different and each has

established a balance over time that is important to every form

of life within the ecosystem.”

A Rainforest can be described as a tall, dense jungle. The reason
it is called a "rain" forest is because of the high amount of
rainfall it gets per 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.Another name for the Tropical
Rainforest is the jungle. The Rainforest biome is a forest of tall
trees that cover about 6% of the earth. It has more species of
trees than anywhere else in the world. The Tropical Rainforest
receives more rain than any other biome making it the wettest
biome.Because it is on the equator the sun's rays will always be
directly shining on them.Rainforests are wet because the air
pressure at the equator is low. Air is sucked in from the oceans
which contains moisture.”

There are two types of rainforests -- tropical and temperate.
Tropical and temperate rainforests share certain

Both types of rainforests are rich in plant and animal species,

Amazon Is Dangerous:

While the Amazon is filled with amazing creatures such as
jaguars, anacondas, and black caiman, they have little interest in
human contact, and attacks on humans, particularly tourists, are
rare. They prefer their natural diet. Most snakes and spiders in
the Amazon are not venomous.Can you swim in the Amazon River?

Last year on April 8th, Slovenian marathon swimmer Martin
Strel became the first man to swim the entire length of the
Amazon River from headwaters in Peru to the Brazilian port
city of Belém: 3,274 miles. ... Seven swimmers had
attempted it before and all had failed. The Amazon was
different.Is the Amazon River safe to drink?
Poisoned Amazon: Nothing Safe to Drink. The Amazon has
more water than any other river in the world. Along its
4,049 mile length, 500 tributaries feed into it. Every day it
produces enough water to meet the needs of New York City
for nine years.
