TROPICAL RAINFOREST

Have you ever-wanted lots of rain, see more than fifty percent of all living things on the planet? If you do this is the place to go.

The rainforest is located in northeastern Brazil, central Africa, and south Asia.

The rainforest has an average of two hundred fifty centimeters off rain a year, which makes the climate very humid. Most of this biome is found near the equator so there is mostly direct sunlight. There is really only one season in this biome, which is summer. The average temperature in the rainforest is 77 degrees.

Even though this biome is so hot I still believe you should bring long pants and a long sleeve shirt to keep mosquitoes, and poison plants away from you. Bring lots of water, a raincoat, raingear and an umbrella.

The fun thing about this biome is the many things you can do. You may swing from vine to vine, examine many animals, climb a tree, and play with the rain. You may have a chance to see an organism that has not been discovered yet!

One well-known plant in this biome is the Bengal bamboo. This plant is made for rain and loves temperatures between forty and one hundred degrees. It is slimy to keep to much rain from getting on it. Another plant is the Orchid, this flower plant blooms in many different colors because of the sunlight and rain in the biomes.

The African forest elephant is a well-known animal in the rainforest. The rainforest elephant is adapted to live in dense areas. Their tusks are straight instead of curved because they could get caught in a vine. Another animals is the sloth, it is adapted to live in trees, so this biome is a great place for it to live.

Two environmental issues in the rainforest are logging and pollution. Logging looses the lives of man organisms and destroys the area. Pollution can cause plants and animals to die and kill all animals on that planet.
