Question

Q44: The sunlight does not reach the ground in rainforests. Why? Illustrate with an example

Answer 1

Answer:

this usually happens because the forest is really dense so it do not allow the light to pass through it... the sunlight stop because the leaves of the trees are also very dense...

Answer 2

Sunlight does not penetrate deep into the rain forests:

• Although rain forests receive 12 hours of sunlight daily, less than 2% of that sunlight reaches a peak.
• The rain forest is dense, often forming three distinct layers - a bed, a basement, and a layer of soil.
• Sunlight streams through tropical rain forests allow plants to do photosynthesize.
• But very large trees control much of the sunlight.
• Tall trees prevent most sunlight from reaching directly into the forest floor.
• Deforestation is essential for the survival of animals and plants.
• Example:
• In the dense jungle, canopy trees can block more than 95% of sunlight.
