Tropical Rainforest layers

Question 1

Explain Forest floor.

Answer 1

Forest floor is the last and bottom layer of a tropical rainforest. This layer is extremely dark, humid and hot where very small amount of sunlight reaches. Most of the insects reproduce here, with bacteria and fungi.
Seeds fall to the floor, and then grow upwards to the next layer of the rainforest.
We can mostly find Jaguars here, as it helps them to get camouflaged, snakes, scorpions..

Question 2

Explain Understorey layer.

Answer 2

The layer right above forest floor, where the climate is hot and wet. We can find colourful flowers, attracting the bees and causing pollination. Here, we can find snakes, bees, bats and small insects which can fly. We could also find tigers here.

Question 3

Explain Canopy layer.

Answer 3

The canopy layer is right above understorey layer, where the trees, leaves and its branches are abundant. This layer absorb the most sunlight, blocking it from reaching the layers at bottom. Climate is hotter, for the amount of trees growing close. Here most of the animals live, for the abundance of fruits, habitat.. (monkeys are the most common)

Question 4

Emergent Layer

Answer 4

The very top layer, known as SUNLIT ZONE. Climate is very windy here, and it catches the maximum force of thunderstorms. Butterflies, bees, birds and bats live up high there, and also the animals who know how to climb so high up and fly.
