Amazon The Rain Forest
Before plan
a trip visit to the Amazon Rainforest it may be pay to first ask yourself what
the Amazon Rainforest is like. Armed with the information, you can then make
the most of your visit and plan accordingly. There are many recommened tours in
the Amazon Rainforest and the staff are very helpful in answering specific
enquiries
True is this
its the name, the forest can be get very wet indeed, so always plan to take
water proof clothing or invest in this durable poncho.without it these forests
would not be able to sustain 50% of all life on Earth.This jungle is this rain
that power the rainforest ecosystem.
Aside from being among is the wettest places,
due to their is a global position, rainforests is also receive more light than
any other vegetationa type on Earth.
This makes them very hot, humid. As a rough guide, the Amazon Rainforest
approaches about may be 33°C during the day (at its hottest in the early
afternoon) and then get down to 18°C at night. If plan is visit a trip this
mean you should take cloth for both the hot day and so cold nights.
The Amazon rain forest:-Flora and
Fauna
If you are
not be familiar with tropic area, the interior of the Amazon Rainforest will
seem very alien. There are no many leafless tree common to temperate regions as
to the trees are evergreen in be a habit, continuously shedding and growing new
thick, waxy leave.
The vines
give the impression of trees growing from every angle as your guide cuts
through the vegetation.The majority of trees in the Amazon Rainforest have
narrow, straight trunks, and hang from these are be a vines, which provide very
much needed support in the thin layer of a soil.
The trees
and this vines are like motor many ways for ants, the most abundant rainforest
insect. Many ants are in a close relationship with their host plant, which they
will defend with their live. Other, called leaf cutter ants, will be seen
tirelessly carry be large leaf fragments across in the branche and back to
their nest.
If you are
going to be Amazon Rainforest, you may hear to the sound of howler monkey as
you trek through the under growth, or look up to see the friendly to face of an
Amazon tree frog watching as to you navigate its home. If you find small object
being thrown from above, look up to see if a troop of squirrel monkey are
throwing twigs as they are follow you through in the forest.
When you
guys are emerge from to the forest navigate the waterways by a boat, you are
likely to see colourful and macaw parrots fly across your path, highlighted by
the light and blue sky. As your gaze follow to the birds you may catch sight of
giant, colourful and butterflies flying back across the river.
If you
are wonder what to do in Amazon
Rainforest, there are many more activities dependent on interest. A
professionally we trained guide will be able to spot animal and plant you might
miss and is an be a essential part of visiting the forest. No amount to reading
will equal in the experience and to fully know what is the Amazon Rainforest is
like and to make the most a visit, the best suggestion are would be to arrange
one of our recommended Amazon jungle tours.
The
rainforest is likely form during the Eocene era (from 56 million years to 33.9
million years ago).when to the Atlantic Ocean had widened sufficiently to
provide a warm, moist climate to the Amazon basin. The rainforest was been in
existence for at least 55 million year, and most of the region remained free of
savanna-type biome at least until the current ice age when the climate was
drier and savanna more widespred.
Following
the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, the extinction of the dinosaurs and
the wetter climate may have allowed the tropical rainforest to spread out
across the continent. From 66–34 Mya,is the rainforest extended far south as
45°. Climate fluctuation during in the last 34 million year have to allowed
savanna regions to expand into the tropic. During the Oligocene, for example,
the rainforest is spanned a relatively narrow band.

The Purus
Arch. Water on the eastern side flowed toward the Atlantic, while to the west
water flowed toward the Pacific across the Amazonas Basin. As the Andes
Mountain rose, however is a large basin was create that enclosed lake; now
known the Solimõe Basin. Within the last 5–10 million years, this is
accumulating water broke through the Purus Arch,When joining the easterly flow
toward the Atlantic.
There is
evidence that there have been significant changes in the Amazon rainforest
vegetation over the last 21,000 years through the last glacial maximum (LGM)
and subsequent deglaciation.Amazon Fan indicate that rainfall in the basin
during the LGM was lower than for the present, and this was almost certainly
associated with reduced moist tropical vegetation cover in the basin.Some
isolat refugia separated by the open forest and grassland other scientists
argue the rainforest remained largely intact but extended less far the north,
south, and east than seenThe practical limitation of working in the rainforest
mean that be a data sampling is biase away from the center of the Amazon basin,
and both explanation are reasonably well supported by the available data.
