Also a rain forest is very hot and the soil is moist due to the amount of rainfall the rain forest receives.]]> 2017-04-04 18:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164700284 abbeythorne https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164700346 The location of tropical rain forests around the globe are located in certain regions. These regions are: South East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Central America. The most common rain forest is the Amazon rain forest. This is located in South America. ]]> 2017-04-04 18:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164700346 abbeythorne https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164700385 The temperature range for tropical rain forest is between 68° and 98° Fahrenheit. It never drops below 68° and never rises above 93°. The average humidity percentage of a tropical rain forest is 85%. ]]> 2017-04-04 18:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164700385 abbeythorne https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164700430 The average rainfall for the tropical rain forest is between 50 to 260 inches which is also 125 to 660 centimeters per year. There is such thing as a dry season, during this time there is an average of 6 inches of rainfall. A dry season only lasts a few months, but during these months plants and animals suffer severely. A wet season is when there is an abundance of rainfall. The ground is either just water or damp. Plants enjoy the wet season if it isn't overwhelming. ]]> 2017-04-04 18:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164700430 abbeythorne https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164700598 An example of plant life in a tropical rain forest is an aerial plant. An aerial plant is a plant that collect moisture from the humid air. This plant adapts to its environment by absorbing the humid air that the rain forest offers. This helps the plant survive in the conditions that the rain forest has. Another example of plant life in the tropical rain forest is the Brazil Nut Tree. The Brazil Nut Tree is located in the Amazon rain forest. This tree reaches the height of 160 feet. Another example of a type of plant life that can be found in rain forests are carnivorous plants that get their nutrition from insects and other kinds of arthropods. ]]> 2017-04-04 18:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164700598 abbeythorne https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164702754 http://sciencing.com/animals-show-commensalism-rain-forest-6679573.html

For example, a frog adapts to its environment by blending in with the environment to prevent predators from spotting its location.
Another example would be a piranha adapt to the environment by it naturally having a dark color so it is easy for it to hide in the murky water. Also, their teeth are really sharp and they can scare away  the predators.]]> 2017-04-04 18:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164711212 jezrasilva https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164715769 Some examples of parasitic relationships in a tropical rain forest are the relationships between leeches and any other animals, bot fly larvae and jaguars, and ants and fungus. The relationship between leeches and any other animal is parasitic because it benefits the leech but harms the other animal. The leech latches on to the animal and feeds on their blood until they become full and drop off. The relationship between bot fly larvae and jaguars are parasitic because the bot flies lay their eggs on jaguars so when they hatch the bot flies can feast on the flesh of the jaguars. The relationship between ants and fungus is parasitic because the fungus latches on to the ant for transportation and once the ants reach their ant hill, they kill the ants and use their bodies to reproduce.]]> 2017-04-04 19:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/164715769 abbeythorne https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/165028878 Some examples of mutualism relationships in a tropical rain forest are between bats and Durian Tree, wasps and fig species, and monkeys with fruit trees. The relationships between bats and Durian trees are mutualism because when the bats collect the fruit from this tree, they help spread pollen. The same thing is for wasps and fig species. The relationship between the monkey and the fruit tree is mutualism because the monkey spreads seeds once eating the fruit and consuming the seeds. Once it passes through, the seeds are placed somewhere where the new plant will grow.]]> 2017-04-06 01:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/165028878 abbeythorne https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/165029830 Some examples of commensalism relationships in a tropical rain forest are between vultures and dead animals, dung beetles and flies, and termites. The relationship between vultures and dead animals is commensalism because once the animal is dead it can't be affected. The vulture will scavenge on its body and the remaining parts will benefit the soil. The relationship between dung beetles and flies is commensalism because when an animal defecates, other animals like dung beetles and flies benefit by receiving nutrients and shelter from the dung. Termites have a commensalism with plants and trees because they eat the fruit and bark of dead or fallen plant. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeythorne/vh7szdz945uv/wish/165029830
