Page 2: Rainforests. Two Types of Rainforests Tropical – Located along the equator – 80-400 inches of rain per year – Temperature between 70-85 degrees Temperate

Two Types of Rainforests

• Tropical– Located along the equator– 80-400 inches of rain per year– Temperature between 70-85 degrees

• Temperate– Could be located anywhere (even Alaska)– 50-140 inches of rain per year– Temperature between 50-80 degrees

Rainforest Layers

Page 4: Rainforests. Two Types of Rainforests Tropical – Located along the equator – 80-400 inches of rain per year – Temperature between 70-85 degrees Temperate

Rainforest LayersEmergent Canopy

- Top Layer- Trees are 100-240 feet tall.

- Tops of trees are shaped like umbrellas.

- Trees are 60-130 feet tall.- Most of the animals in the rainforest live in this layer. Some never go to the forest

floor.

Understory Forest Floor- Sometimes called Lower Canopy

- Trees are 60 feet tall.- Completely Shaded

- Due to little light, very few plants and animals live in this layer.

- Mostly inhabited by termites and fungi.

Tropical Rainforests

• Most of the rainforests in the world are tropical.

• They make up only 6% of Earth’s surface, but contain over half of Earth’s plants and animals.

Amazon Rainforest

• The Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world.

• It is located in South America along the Amazon River basin.

• Covers 2.5 million square miles and is part of 9 different countries.

Amazon Rainforest

• 20% of Earth’s oxygen is produced there

• More than 5 million species of plants, animals, and insects

Rainforest Destruction

• Unfortunately, rainforests across the globe are being destroyed at a substantial rate.

Page 11: Rainforests. Two Types of Rainforests Tropical – Located along the equator – 80-400 inches of rain per year – Temperature between 70-85 degrees Temperate

Reasons for Destruction

• Logging• Farming• Ranching• Mining

Page 12: Rainforests. Two Types of Rainforests Tropical – Located along the equator – 80-400 inches of rain per year – Temperature between 70-85 degrees Temperate

Reasons to Save the Rainforests

• Millions of animals and people live there.

• Many products, including foods and medicines, come from the rainforests.

• Rainforests affect Earth’s climate. Cutting down and burning trees releases carbon dioxide, which leads to global warming.
