Tropical Rainforest Characteristics Gcse
The main aim of this lesson is to cover the following element of the specification:
Tropical rainforest characteristics gcse. The recurring features of rainforests are basically the following: Global rainforest distribution using the map of global biomes (above) mark onto a blank world map the location of 'tropical forest'. Of all the biomes on this planet it is the most biodiverse.
Ensure that your map has a title and a key. Tropical rainforests are found in places with a hot (over 30°c) and wet (over 2000 mm) equatorial climate. Tropical rainforests are ecosystems that occur in tropical regions, and are a type of tropical moist broadleaf forest.
These have high precipitation of around 60 to 160 inches of precipitation throughout the year, with almost no dry seasons. Features of a tropical rainforest climate: It may be a good idea to teach topic 2 before topic 3 so that some knowledge on climate can be reinforced.
Learn about and revise tropical rainforests, their characteristics and the threats they face, with gcse bitesize geography (aqa). Rainforests are the most productive and most complex ecosystems on. Rainforests cover less than two percent of the earth's surface.
(lo2) draw a climate graph for a tropical rainforest. The top layer or canopy contains giant trees that grow to heights of 75 m (about 250 ft) or more. The tropical rainforest contains over 50% of plant and animal life on planet earth.
The amazon rainforest is the world’s largest tropical rainforest. Worldwide, they make up one of earth’s largest biomes (major life zones). A tropical rainforest biome is found in hot, humid environments in equatorial climates.
