1.)Which statement correctly describes the conditions that most likely encouraged the biodiversity that exists today in the tropical forest? a tropical rain forest represents a closed system using insect or animal pollination in which species evolve independently of other ecosystems
2.) An examination of biodiversity in tropical rain forest indicates that this habitat occupies ____ of the earth's surface and contains ______ of all plants and animals on earth. 7% 50% 3.) Tropical rain forests soils are said be poor essentials minerals, but growth in these forest lands is lush so one can only conclude that: minerals are located mainly in the plants and are recycled 4.) Based on figures and statistics from the countries having tropical rain forest within their borders, from 1940 to the year 2000 what percent of tropical rain forest land worldwide was predicted to be lost and has not been lost through clearing, farming, ranching, burning, colonization, logging, and other causes over 50% 5.) Which feature in the physical structure of Tropical Rain Forest is likely to have been the most significant factor in the evolution of rain forest diversity? the canopy 6.) From the mid-1970's until the year 2001, what percent of tropical rain forest land in Rodonia was predicted to be lost and has now been lost through clearing, farming, ranching, burning, colonization, logging, and other causes about 15% 7.) The destruction of tropical rain forest particular to Rondonia in Brazil along BR 364 a, 900 mile road began w/ either world bank financing 8.) Which if the following represents a reasonable and conservative estimate of the rate of loss of Tropical Rain Forest one acre per second
9.) It has been estimated by the National Academy of Science that by the year 2034 approximately _____ of the remaining tropical rain forest will be gone50%
10.) Apart from the impact of man, biological diversity in the Tropical Rain Forest has______ since ancient times increased
