The Amazon Biome In The Amazon Rainforest

I agree with the author's choice of first person because jack is the one constantly talking. also why i agree is because if the mom wrote it then it would be talking about the divorce the whole time and she would not menchon brain.In Addition if the dad wrote the story then he would talk about how he only gets to see his son in the summer and he does not think that is write.Again on page 5 it states that “Brian's father did not understand as brian did.to add on brains dad did not get why the marriage ended and brian knew and his dad was clueless why him and his wife divorced there for brian got it because he was just thinking thru his head about all the fights they went thru so his mom filled for the divorce.

The Amazon has a humid climate. There’s a lot precipitation and an average temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The rainforest is found in South America. The Amazon River is surrounded by tropical rainforest. Three layers can be found in the forest. The forest floor is the bottom layer, it has an under story where all the trunks of the trees are located, and a canopy. This is where the tops of the trees are located.

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.

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.

A rainforest biome was included in Biosphere 2 because rainforests are one of the most dominate biomes in the world. A rainforest biome can home up to 10 million species of animals, plants and insects. There are approximately 3000 edible fruits found in the average rainforest. And most of plants in a natural rainforest don’t experience human interactions allowing the majority of plants in Biosphere 2 to be self sustaining. The natural humid climate found in rainforests is also present within the rainforest enclosure allowing to provide the majority of plants and animals with a great climate. This makes it very easy to maintain the environment. These are all factors and evidence in response to why a rainforest biome was included in Biosphere

Larger in land mass than the contiguous United States, Brazil borders every country on the South American continent except Ecuador and Chile. Three features define Brazil's geography: the Amazon Basin, tropical savanna and the Brazilian Highlands. The Amazon River and rain forest, the world's largest, encompass most of northern Brazil and make this region inhospitable to agriculture and large populations. To its south lies the Cerrado, a vast tropical savanna. Advances in agricultural practices have allowed large-scale farming to thrive in this region. However, due to distance and geography, Brazil faces daunting challenges in getting agricultural commodities to international markets. The Brazilian Highlands and the narrow strip of land between

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…

Individuals have been deforesting the Earth for a large number of years, fundamentally to clear land for yields or domesticated animals. "Deforestation" is the lasting devastation of timberlands with a specific end goal to make the area accessible for different uses; what's more, as indicated by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization an expected 18 million sections of land of backwoods, which is generally the nation's extent of Panama, are lost every year; Although tropical woods are to a great extent bound to creating nations, they aren't simply meeting nearby or national needs; monetary globalization implies that the needs and needs of the worldwide populace are hunkering down on them also.

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.

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.

Gabon is a Francophone country in Africa. It gained its independence from France in 1960. Gabon is rising in the African world, like many other of its fellow countries. To explain how it is going to be classified, tangible and intangible factors are going to be used. Some are agriculture, demography and population, natural resources, will and support of the people, also government administrative competence. These factors help explain what type of country Gabon is and how it is ranked. Recently through according to the The Economist Gabon has had some setbacks with its recent election. Gabon is a rising nation, tempered by it’s political instability. It is classified by how its physical geography, their people and its government works, to be

The Amazon is not only the last remaining rainforest in the World but is also one of the most important biomes for global human-well being (Bonan, 2008; Fearnside, 2008). The biome belongs to nine countries, including Ecuador (Reference). The Ecuadorian Amazon region has been considered as one of the most well preserved areas in the Western Hemisphere (Bass et al., 2010; Finer et al., 2008; Finer et al., 2009; Larrea et al., 2012). In particular the South-Central area (i.e. Yasuní National Park), which is situated in an extraordinary location along the Equator where the Andes and the Amazon meet, is one of the leading biodiversity hotspots in the World (Bass et al., 2010).

Dating back to the 18th century, the Amazon rain forest has been the subject of curiosity and study by research scientists. Even with the trove of information gathered, with estimates of 12,000 species discovered, many believe that’s a small percentage of what is actually out there to be discovered and recorded.

The Amazon Forest occupies the North Area of Brazil, embracing about 47% of the national territory. It is the largest forest formation on the planet, and is conditioned by the humid equatorial climate. This area possesses a great variety of vegetable physiognomies, from dense forests to open fields. Dense forests are represented by forests of firm earth, the várzea forests which are periodically flooded, and the igapó forests which are permanently flooded as happens in almost the entire central region of Amazônia. The fields of Roraima consist of poor soils in the northern end of the basin of Rio Branco. The campinaranas consists of sandy soils, being spread in "stains" along Rio Negro's basin. These last two formations consist of the Cerrado
