Answers
Answer:
Okay so here's my answer:
Explanation:
1.) Tropical rainforests grow in the equatorial regions.
2.) Even the sunlight does not reach the ground. Numerous species of trees are found in these forests. In some regions, some types of trees shed their leaves at different times of the year. Therefore, these forests always appear green and are known as evergreen forests.
3.) *Destroying homes
* Wildlife habitat and timber
* Polluting the air
4.) The two basic steps in preventing forest fires are reducing risk and reducing hazard. ... Hazard is reduced by compartmentalizing a forest with firebreaks (alleyways in which all vegetation is removed) and reducing the buildup of fuel (litter, branches, fallen trees, etc.) by controlled burning.
5.) Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds.
6.) An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life. Ecosystems contain biotic or living, parts, as well as abiotic factors, or nonliving parts. ... Ecosystems can be very large or very small.
7.) The wildlife sanctuaries are established to protect the endangered species. ... A few sanctuaries take in injured and abandoned animals and rehabilitate them to health before releasing them in the forest. Wildlife sanctuaries preserve the endangered species and protect them from humans and predators.
