Question 1

Amazon Rainforest = largest continuous interdependent rainforest ecosystem located along equator (North East Brazil.)
World’s largest rainforest.

Answer 1

The Amazon Rainforest is the largest continuous interdependent rainforest ecosystem located along the equator in North East Brazil. It is the world’s largest rainforest.

Question 2

Whereabouts of this rainforest → along the equator → consists of an equilateral climate = humid and (mostly) wet all year round (20-28°C & only varies by a few degrees over the year)
Sun’s rays’ intense concentration on the rainforest produces convectional rainfall.

Answer 2

Due to the whereabouts of this rainforest along the equator it consists of an equilateral climate meaning it is humid and (mostly) wet all year round (generally between 20-28°C and only varies by a few degrees over the year) as the sun’s rays intense concentration on the rainforest and produces convectional rainfall.

Question 3

Vast abundant ecosystem - least 40 000 species of animals and plants and 300 - 400 million indigiounous tribes both located and unlocated.
‘the lungs of the earth’: as the trees draw in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen.

Answer 3

It is a vast, abundant ecosystem containing at least 40 000 species of animals and plants and 300 - 400 million indigiounous tribes both located and unlocated. It is mainly known as ‘the lungs of the earth’ as the trees draw in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen.

Question 4

Why should the Amazon Rainforest be protected at all costs?

Answer 4

Helps slow global warming therefore, needs to be protected sustainably at all costs.
