Tropical Rainforest
Tropical rainforests can be located in areas near the equator where the climate is warm and days last around 12 hours a day. The weather consists mainly of 79-157 inches of rainfall per year. The temperature in the tropical rainforest ranges between 68°F-93°F, keeping it consistently warm year long. It can downpour about 2 inches in only an hour. With recurrent rainfall, the rainforest remains moist and humid. The tropical rainforest’s humidity can reach up to 88%.
Bengal tigers are an endangered species located in Asian tropical rainforests. Bengal tigers play a significant role in the ecosystem due to their importance in the food chain. According to Global Tiger Initiative, “The decline of large predators may lead to over-abundance of herbivores …show more content…
They are most commonly found in Southeast Asian rainforests. The tree provides shelter for different types of frogs, birds, and bromeliads. Large spines on the trunk of the tree are an adaptation used to protect the tree from damage caused by animals. Another adaptation is its height because it allows it to get extra rainwater. The tree bark is a mix between white, pink, and brown. Kapok trees are deciduous and rely on the wind as their form of reproduction by using the wind to blow its seeds throughout the tropical rainforest. This method also benefits the ecosystem. The wood of Kapok trees can be very resourceful and be made into coffins, canoes, and carvings. Certain parts of the tree are even used as elements in …show more content…
This form of latex is still used up to the present day. Rubber trees originated in the Amazon region of South America. One adaptation of the Rubber tree is its shedding of bark which allows nutrients to be absorbed. Another adaptation is the evolution of the latex defending itself from dangerous insects. Rubber trees produce by opening its fruits and dispersing its seeds in a 100-foot radius around the tree. The tree can grow to 100 feet and has glossy and dark leaves. The leaves shaded the surrounding of the tree usually not allowing the area around it to produce any other
