State and explain any 5 features of the Amazon rainforest?
Answers
Answer:
1. We know that Amazon Rainforest is a rainforest. What we don’t usually say is that it is a Tropical Rainforest. A tropical rainforest is that rainforest which sits within 10 to 12 degrees North or South of Earth’s equator.
2. Because this forest is a tropical rainforest, it is, what is known as the ‘tropical climate’. This type of climate is often called as ‘equatorial climate’. So, if someone says that Amazon Rainforest has an equatorial climate, don’t be surprised. It is the same thing as saying ‘Amazon Rainforest has a tropical climate’.
3. One of the most profound implications of being a tropical rainforest is that Amazon Rainforest doesn’t have well-defined Winter or Summer. The average temperature difference between the two is around 2°C.
4. While the average temperature difference between Winter and Summer in Amazon Rainforest is merely 2°C, the average temperature difference between Day and Night is more and usually ranges between 2°C and 5°C.
5. People have a notion that it is very hot inside the Amazon Rainforest. This is not true. The average temperature of the forest barely crosses 33°C
