2. Soil type and Erosion
• Will it mostly have
topsoil,bedrock,sand,or
clay?
• What type of soil would
be good for lots of
plants ?
• What type of
erosion?
Topsoil

rain each year also it can
rain almost 200 days in
a year.

7. Climate
• Rainforests are warm and
wet all year round.
• Rainforests usually get 250
inches of rain each year.
• In the rainforest it rains
about 200 days a year.
• The rain may cause water
erosion because after it
hits the ground it may
carry the sediments down
a stream or from a stream.
• The rainforest never
gets below 25°C.
• It would not be fun to
live in a rainforest
because it rains almost
everyday.
8. Plants and animals
• The Madagascar periwinkle can survive because
the soil has very good nutrients. I think the
avocado tree is adaptable by giving food to other
animals.
• Monkeys,and scorpions live in the canopy and
forest floor of the rainforest.I think the way the
monkey is adaptable is by jumping from tree to
tree.I think the way the the scorpion is adaptable
is by be able to sting or hurt an animal that is
trying to threat the scorpion.
• Fungi and snakes live in the forest floor and the
canopy. I think they are adaptable by giving
nutrients and by slithering quietly to sneak up on
its prey.
9. Facts
• Most rainforests are cleared by chainsaws, bulldozers and
fires for its woods good use.
• The plants in the rainforest can be used as medicines to
help heal some cancers and other sicknesses.
• Rainforest cultures are disappearing since the rainforest
are being destroyed.
•
The Madagascar Periwinkle can save 8 out of 10 kids with
leukemia.
• In the next 40 years scientist think that every rainforest will
have been crushed.
• A lot of medicines are found in the rainforest thats why
they tear the rainforest down to get the cures.
