More about the Amazon Rainforest!

The climate in the Amazon rainforest is like that of any other typical tropical rainforest. It is hot and humid. The temperature is 79 degrees Fahrenheit for the entire year which gets compounded due to the heavy humidity. There aren't many seasonal changes in the climate and the temperature too remains the same for pretty much of the year. In fact the difference between the day and night temperatures is greater than the difference between any two seasons. The weather remains the same all year long.

As for the rain, the Amazon forest climate is perennially monsoon-like. Due to the large river basin and the tropical heat, the moist air near the ground is heated, causing it to rise. When it reaches the condensation point, it forms rain clouds. This process happens for all the 12 months. This type of rainfall is called convectional rainfall. It rains almost the whole year in the Amazon forest. But two seasons can be defined for the sake of clarity as the rainy season and the not-so-rainy season. In the former, the rains are about 60-180 inches while in the non-rainy seasons, the rains may be between 30-100 inches. The rains start just as suddenly as they stop.

Animals adapt to living in the rainforest by getting used to it. E.g- some animals get used to hunting for their food and  camels have a doubled layer of eyelashes and grow a hump on their back to get used to life in the rainforest. Different animals adapt to different things however this also applies to plants. The animals and plants adapt to the climate because the plants and animals that live there are ones that you will find in hot countries. This means that will be used to the hot weather and they will adapt quickly.



Now watch this video to see how bad climate change is in the Amazon Rainforest. Enjoy!

The Amazon Rainforest!

The Amazon Rainforest is located in Brazil and many other countries. It is one of the biggest rainforests in the world and amazingly home to one-in-ten know species. It is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most most of the Amazon Basin. It spreads over nine different countries but most of it falls within Brazil.

The Amazon rainforest, you will find a veriety spider. and howler monkeys along with scarlet macawas, toucans and sloths all in the lower canopy. The understorey and forest floor is home to giant armidilloss, coati, ocelot, the electric-blue morpho butterfly, Hercules beetle, the Arrow poison frog, tapirs and iguanas and tree boas clinging to branches.
For plants there are always ferns and epiphytes decorating trees and flaming coral trees with bright orange blooms, not to mention jungle vines crawling from the ground all the way to the canopy on other trees. Also you will find banana, ginger, cocca, bamboo and many more.  






Now you can watch a video from you tube that is all about the animals and plants that live in the Amazon. Enjoy! :D
