Tropical rainforests are located around the equator. The weather is bright and sunny for about the same time every year, the reason for this being is because they’re located between the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer, were sun consistently shines. On a yearly basis approximately 160-400 inches (4,064mm-10,160mm) of rainfall is recorded on average for each rainforest, surprisingly these sunny and wet conditions are quite stable. The top 5 countries with the biggest rainforests are:
(In order of largest smallest)
Brazil-1,800,000 square miles
Democratic Republic Of The Congo-683,400 square miles
Indonesia-490,349 square miles
Peru-289,576 square miles
Columbua-258,688 square …show more content…
This depletion of rainforests is a real thing, which if not sustained certainly will cause changes so drastic that the rainforests are virtually unrecoverable. As discussed earlier the deforestation of rainforests has the ability to cause, damaged oxygen cycle, no food or resources, no medicinal herbs or plants causing unknown disaster, and no more resources to build houses for out constantly growing population, this will have devastating effects on our eco-system.
Tropical rainforests are getting cut down at a rate of 6000 trees an hour, this extremely rapid deforestation of rainforests has caused rainforests that were once 14% of earth’s surface all the way down to only 6%, at the rate we are chopping rainforests will be gone in approximately 40 years. So some of us might not witness the complete deforestation of rainforests but we must protect future generation from this controversial threat. Rainforests are the means of supplying us with oxygen. And the human body cannot survive longer than 4 minutes without
