Q6. Why are Rainforests inportant?

Why are Rainforests inportant?

Rainforests are important because the climate in a rainforest effects the whole world. Plants in the rainforest clean the air. Rainforests are also very inportant because they make rain (thats how they got their name.) in the rainforest water evoperates from the forest and back into the atmosphere. This causes clouds above the rainforest. The clouds release water back so it rains. This rain then evaperates into the atmosphere which then creates a cycle. As I said before rainforests affect the weather patterns in other parts of the world. Deforestation can also change the rainfall patterns elsewhere. Did you know that there are over 100 plants in the rainforest that have not been discovered yet. A scientests fact sheet says that there are many of these that can cure some serious deseases? Rainforests occupy around 7 percent of the worlds surface and are also home to about half the worlds plant and animal species. They have been home to many cultures for thousands of years.

Q5. Where are rainforests found in our world?

Q4. What plants live in the Rainforest?

Q4. What plants live in the rainforerst?

Bromelidas are related to the pinapple family. Their fat waxy leaves form a bowl to catch rain.

Leananas. Ninety per cent of the world's vine species grow in tropical rainforests. Lianas are a type of climbing vine found throughout tropical rainforests.

Buttress roots. Most rainforest soil is very poor with all the nutrients available largely remaining at surface level. Because of this rainforest trees have very shallow roots.

Strangler roots. Most stranglers are members of the fig family. In Spanish they are known as matapalo - 'killer tree'.

Q3. What animals live in the rainforest?

What animals live in the rainforest?

The animals that live in the rainforest are ant eaters, insects, butterflies, mosquitos and flies, spiders and monkeys. The insects and animals find and get food out of trees and some barks.

Q1:What is a Rainforest?

What is a Rainforest

There are 2 types of Rainforests. One of them is a tropical Rainforest and the other temperate Rainforest. The temperate Rainforest is cooler in Summer and has more rain. When you are in a temperate Rainforest you can usually see the mountains. When you are in a tropical rainforest there isn't as much rain and it is hotter in summer. Tropical Rainforests are usually in the equator and are found on some islands.
