There are two types of rainforest biomes: tropical and temperate. Tropical rainforests are found near the equator and are moist and hot all year round. The climate in this biome is very humid‚ maintaining a high humidity of 77% to 88% all year round‚ due to the frequent rainfall. The rainfall is all year round and receive annual precipitation amounts from 60 to 160 inches. There is little to no seasonal changes in weather. The average temperature in tropical rainforests range from 70 to 85°F (21

The whole purpose of this chapter is to clarify the pivotal need of geographic comprehension in society. Geography is divided mainly into two categories; human and physical geography. Each geography examines different kinds of information. Physical geography clarifies the physical landscapes of districts and places while human geography looks to break down the spatial circulation of humans and their cooperation’s. Chapter 1 summaries the significance of geography and how it influences all aspects

The Coastal Region‚ The Amazon Basin‚ and the Andean Mountain ranges. Each region has a different climate and supports a different flora and fauna unlike any of the other areas. Peru is on the Pacific coast of South America entirely south of the equator. The Amazon Basin lies in the east of Peru and makes up about 60% of Peru’s territory. The region has a large amount of rivers

India Climate: India’s climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar Desert. The Himalayas‚ along with the Hindu Kush mountains in Pakistan‚ prevent cold Central Asian katabatic winds from blowing in‚ keeping the bulk of the Indian subcontinent warmer than most locations at similar latitudes. Concurrently‚ the Thar Desert plays a role in attracting moisture-laden southwest summer monsoon winds that‚ between June and October‚ provide the MOST of India’s rainfall. At the moment‚ India’s

Argentina Darwin was fascinated by the huge fossils. On February 1832 at Salvador‚ Brazil Darwin explored the rainforests for the first time; he loved seeing the flowers‚ grasses‚ and the vegetation. On February 1832 the beagle voyage crossed the equator and Darwin had been “shaved”‚ even though he hadn’t liked with it. On January 1832 at the Cape Verde Islands it dawned on Darwin that he should write a book on the geology of the various countries he shall visit. Darwin at age of 22 in 1831 joined

question e.g. “How is rainforest wildlife affected by deforestation?” (Type here - Box will A rainforest is a sweltering‚ thick jungle that gets a lot of rain. Many plants and animal species live there. Most rainforests are located around the equator and near the tropics hence the name tropical rainforest. Rainforests are very important to the earth. They help to purify and clean the air that we breathe. Some of the resources we get from rainforests include chocolate‚ sugar‚ cinnamon‚ paper ‚timber

Amelia wouldn’t be the first person to circumnavigate the Earth‚ so she decided to circumnavigate around the equator (“Amelia Earhart”). The plan for her trip was to take off from Oakland‚ California and fly west to Hawaii. From Hawaii she would fly across Pacific Ocean to Australia‚ she would then cross subcontinent of India‚ then on to Africa‚ Florida‚ and finally
