Climate: The general climate in the rainforest is very humid because of all of the rainfall.
Land Form: The rainforest land form is full of mountains, valleys, flood plains, rivers, etc.]]> 2018-03-08 19:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/239884165 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/240313392 One plant in the tropical rainforest is the water lily. They are kind of bowl shaped which makes it easier for it to ride on water. It also adapts to its environment by growing thorns on the bottom of their leaves. Finally, the water lily adapts to its environment by frequently being in the light.]]> 2018-03-09 18:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/240313392 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241020186 Another plant in the rainforest is orchids. Their large roots let the orchids absorb water. They are also capable of storing large quantities of water. Their thick leaves come together to create a bowl to catch rainfall.]]> 2018-03-12 17:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241020186 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241033241 The last plant I'm talking about in the rainforest is the bromeliads.  They form a tightly bound structure with their leaves that helps them capture water and nutrients. They also adapt by growing their roots in the ground. Lastly, their leaves cope with the high rainfall.]]> 2018-03-12 17:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241033241 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241204498 The first animal I'm going to describe is the ocelot. Ocelots are one of my favorite pets, so it was super fun getting to research it! They learn to survive in the wild with their great hearing to hunt rabbits, iguanas, fish, frogs, etc. They also have large eyes with binocular vision and good night vision, which is adapted for hunting. Ocelots do not avoid water like most cats, they love the water, which makes it easier for the ocelot to drink and hunt for fish.]]> 2018-03-13 04:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241204498 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241205305 Next, is the orangutan. Their super long arms and legs make it easy for it to climb up trees and get food. Also, sometimes, they use sticks to attract termites and bugs so they can eat them. Lastly, the orangutan uses large leaves to protect themselves from all of the rainfall.]]> 2018-03-13 05:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241205305 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241206626 The last animal I'm going to be talking about is the jaguar, which is also Jurupa Valley High School's mascot! Jaguars have jaws and a large head equipped for  the skull of their prey with their canines. Jaguars are extremely good swimmers which is good because of all of the rain and floods in the rainforest. Lastly, the spots on the jaguar help the jaguar camouflage. ]]> 2018-03-13 05:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241206626 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241445835 There are various symbiotic relationships in the rainforest. Here is an example. 
-ocelots eat fish.
-orangutans eat bugs.
All of these animals have their own territory. ]]> 2018-03-13 15:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241445835 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241457923 Some major problems in the rainforest is too much fires. Fires harm animals and the wild life. Another problem is the pollution in the air, which also harms animals and wildlife. One other thing that effects the rainforest is people building dams. This affects the way animals live.]]> 2018-03-13 15:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/241457923 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/247884001 -One symbiotic relationship exists between ants and caterpillars. Some caterpillar species produce sweet chemicals from dew patches on their back, which certain ants will eat off of. ]]> 2018-04-02 17:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/247884001 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/247886772 2018-04-02 17:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/247886772 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/247889781 2018-04-02 18:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/247889781 1026246324 https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/247951410 -Another symbiotic relationship ]]> 2018-04-02 23:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246324/o4q2l86agv3b/wish/247951410
