TROPICAL RAINFOREST PAGE 72-119

OBJECTIVES Describe and explain distribution of tropical rainforest. Describe the features of tropical rainforests. Describe how tropical rainforest adapt to the environment.

RAINFOREST DISTRIBUTION

Location of tropical rainforests

Location of tropical rainforests

DISTRIBUTION Found in places between 10°N and 10°S of the Equator Mainly located in Amazon Basin, Congo Basin, and parts of Southeast Asia such as Malaysia and Indonesia.

DISTRIBUTION

DISTRIBUTION Why?: high temperatures (27°C) and high rainfall (above 2000mm) throughout the year. This promotes abundant plant growth which is typical of tropical rainforests.

RAINFOREST STRUCTURE

STRUCTURE 3 distinct layers: Emergent, Canopy, Undergrowth QUICK CLASS ACTIVITY! Do up a sketch of a rainforest with its three layers. You are expected to label/ describe every layer in detail

RAINFOREST ADAPTIVE FEATURES Smooth bark Tall straight trunks. Branches spread out at the top of the trees Fruits and flowers are colourful and strong smelling Buttress roots to support tree Shallow roots
