A tropical cyclone is a rapidly-rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center‚ strong winds‚ and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain. Tropical cyclones typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water. They derive their energy from the evaporation of water from the ocean surface‚ which ultimately recondenses into clouds and rain when moist air rises and cools to saturation. This energy source differs from that of mid-latitude cyclonic storms‚ such

A tropical cyclone is a particular type of lowpressure system. It is called a hurricane in theUnited States and a typhoon in Asia. Tropicalcyclones are areas of warm‚ moist air risingrapidly. The upward ¯ow of air is de¯ected by theCoriolis effect (winds de¯ected by the Earth’srotation)‚ creating a rotation around a centralcore‚ known as the `eye’. Tropical cyclones areoften accompanied by very strong winds (gusts ofover 300 kilometres per hour have been recorded)‚torrential rain (1800 millimetres

The tropical monsoon climate is found in those regions where there is a complete seasonal reversal of winds. It is mainly found beyond the equatorial region between 10° and 25° North and South of the Equator. On-shore summer winds blowing from over tropical warm oceans generate the abundant precipitation‚ while the off-shore winds from over land make the weather dry during winter. The most clearly defined monsoon climates are located in the coastal areas of the eastern and southern Asia. For example

Morgan L. Richard Bio 100 The Rainforests of Atsinanana is located on the eastern side of the island of Madagascar. There are six different national parks that are not connected to one another that make up the “Rainforests of Atsinanana”. These rainforests are said to be possibly the most diverse ecosystems in the world. They consist of 2‚598 species of animals (from 166 families) and 1‚039 plants (from 119 different groups). These national parks also contain more than 1/3 of all mammals

I hope you feel ashamed‚ for not realizing how beautiful this Earth is and can be‚ like a garden bursting with life. Instead you treat rainforest’s like rubbish on the side of the street.

the atmosphere. Rainforests are one of the natural wonders of the world. However‚ they are enticing as they produce lucrative materials‚ as well as containing large amounts of unclaimed spaces. Many of these temptations are too much for people as about 18 million acres of forest are cut down every year (Rinkesh). Recently‚ rainforests have encountered more trouble than ever‚ as people try to exploit the materials found within. Though many may not see the importance of rainforests in lives today

Saving the Rainforest If someone or something was in danger‚ would you do anything to help? Well the world’s rainforest are currently disappearing at a rate of 6‚000 acres every hour which is equivalent to almost 3‚500 football fields. If you have been unaware‚ rainforests are well on their way to extinction. Rainforest once covered 14% of the earth’s surface; now they cover about 6% and experts say the remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years. Commercial logging is the

Like when we were testing the water and ice biomes there was a pretty steady temp. for both but‚ the water biome had an unexpected increase of 1.5º right at the end but this did not occur for the ice biome. With all the other biomes the temperatures increased under the lamp and when the light was turned out it decreased as suspected. Something that was strange though was that greenhouse gasses biome had a steady increase with the light but when the light was turned off

In the rainforest ecosystem‚ everything is connected to one another. There is an interconnectedness existing in this ecosystem. To continue to function‚ the ecosystem depends on the interactions between the biotic and abiotic factors. An ecosystem survives by a combination of energy flow and matter recycling. To understand the interconnectedness of the ecosystem‚ food webs and food chains could be observed. Each organism depends on each other to survive and maintain their populations. In the food
