The Rainforest By: Madelyn Pope Mrs. Wilson 1st Period

2 Types of Rainforest Tropical Temperate
All tropical rainforests are located along the equator Has many trees. Lots of plant and animal life. Temperate rainforests can be located anywhere in the world. Scarce to few trees. Little to no plant or animal life.

3 Rainforest Layers Emergent Layer Canopy Layer Understory Layer
Has tallest trees approximately 200 feet above the forest floor Plenty of sunlight Monkeys, bats, butterflies and eagles are the animals found here Canopy Layer Shelters the two layers below Most animals live here Understory Layer Receives little sunshine Many insects and animals such as jaguars Forest Floor Very Dark, with little to no sunlight Plants and animals decay quickly in this layer

4 Location Climate Very hot and humid
Located among the equator where the sun’s rays are direct Rainforests are on 5 of the 7 continents Very hot and humid Average rainfall per year is 80 inches Temperature never goes below 65 degrees

5 Amazon Rainforest The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon Rainforest. Measures to be approximately 5 and a half million square kilometers. Protection of the Amazon Rainforest creates the deforestation rate to reduce. Home to 10% of the world’s species.

6 Project Summary I chose to do my project on rainforests because I have always enjoyed learning about different climate zones and locations I am unfamiliar with. The things I most liked about this project was researching where rainforests are most located, what types of animals are there, and various things among a rainforest. The most interesting fact I learned was that there is even a rainforest in Antarctica. From this project I have learned all the factors and details that make up a rainforest.
