A rain forest gets huge amounts of rain. That’s why it’s called a rain forest! More than 100 inches of rain fall there each year. In contrast, Los Angeles, California, gets only about 15 inches
of rain per year.
Rain Forest Plants and Animals
A rain forest has hundreds of kinds of trees and flowers. Under your feet is a carpet of leaves. Moisture (水气) is dripping everywhere. Hardly any light reaches the ground becau tall trees form a canopy (树冠), or upper layer, high above. It hides the sky and provides shade.
A rain forest is noisy! Bird squawk. Thousands of incts buzz and hum. Monkeys chatter in the trees. Beetles grow as big as your hand. Some frogs grow as big as a milk carton!
Why Are Rain Forest in Trouble?
Rain forests are very important to life on Earth. They recycle. Tree roots u dead plants as food. Rain turns into clouds that make more rain. Trees take in carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and gives off the air we breathe.
Yet rain forests are in trouble. People cut down trees to get wood and land to farm. Most trees are not replaced. Many scientists think this may be a cau of global warming. Logg
百科ers also may leave rubbish behind. This is a kind of pollution.
The balance of life in a rain forest is complicated (复杂的). Plants and animals depend on one another. If one dies out, others do, too.
The Children’s Rain Forest
Children in a Swedish school were studying rain forests. They learned that rain forests were in trouble. The class stated a project to save a rain forest in Costa Rica. The class bought about 15 acres of land. They paid 525 per acre. The students hoped that the land they bought would be protected and not destroyed.
