There has been debate over the present-day characteristics of the biome of tropical regions. For some they are viewed as a natural response to the climate of the area. Whereas for others they are regarded as a product of human interferences. Discuss this statement in the context of the biome you have studied. The Amazon rainforest is affected by both human interference such as deforestation as well as the climate contributing to global warming and causing both harm and extinction towards the species

of communication in understanding the role of tropical rainforests in preventing climate change. The global atmosphere is undergoing rapid change‚ especially in terms of increasing average temperatures worldwide‚ and this is primarily attributed to human activity (Malhi & Wright‚ 2004). One important factor in this increasing temperature is the constant clearing and destruction of tropical rainforests. It is crucial that the importance of tropical rainforests‚ as global heat and water pumps‚

To what extent can preparedness mitigate the impacts of tropical revolving storms? (40 marks) Tropical revolving storms can be referred to as Hurricanes‚ cyclones and Typhoons these occur in the Atlantic‚ Indian and pacific oceans. Nobody is quite sure how they form but certain factors do need to be met for one to form. One of these is the temperature of the sea which has to be above 28degrees‚ the water also has to be deep beneath the storm‚ this is how the storm gathers its energy. These storms
