The loss of forests can affect rainfall patterns.Group startsTrue or FalseTrue, unselectedFalse, unselected

Which of the following is a characteristic of tropical rain forests?

In some parts of the world, rain forests are being cut down to make land available for new homes. How does the loss of these trees impact the carbon cycle?*1 pointThe trees will no longer be able to undergo photosynthesis which will decrease the amount of oxygen within the atmosphereThe trees will no longer be able to undergo photosynthesis which will decrease the amount of carbon removed from the atmosphereThe trees will no longer be able to undergo respiration which will cause the amount of carbon within the atmosphere to be removed.The trees will no longer be able to undergo respiration which will decrease the amount of fossil fuels produced.

Land degradation of extensive vegetation cover removal can lead to all exceptQuestion 3Answera.Droughtb.Deforestationc.Desertificationd.Condensation

A scientist studies climate change and its possible effects on rain forest species. She collects data to determine the relationship between rainfall and plant productivity, and creates this graph.Using these data, what would be a reasonable prediction about species survival?Group of answer choicesA decrease in annual rainfall could cause a decline in rain forest species.An increase in the intensity of tropical storms could cause widespread extinction of rain forest species.A decrease in the intensity of tropical storms could improve the survival of some rain forest species.An increase in annual rainfall could cause widespread extinction of rain forest species.

This biome contains plants that are adapted to prevent water loss due to the low average rainfall and high temperatures year-round.ResponsesSavannaSavannaBoreal forestBoreal forestTropical rain forestTropical rain forestDesert
