Imagine

•

• What is the purpose of your tarpul?

• How are you going to make your tarpul stable?

The purpose of our tarpul is to cross rivers in rainforest.

By compacting the soil around the wood pier foundations.

• What is your tarpul going to look like?

Rainforest• There used to be 14% of

the earths surface covered by Rainforest. Now there only 6% covering the earths surface.

• 137 plants,animals,and insects species are being destroyed because of deforestation. So that's about 50,000 species killed every year.

Rainforest location

Climate

• Rainforests are warm and wet all year round.

• Rainforests usually get 250 inches of rain each year.

• In the rainforest it rains about 200 days a year.

• The rainforest never gets below 25°C.

• It would not be fun to live in a rainforest because it rains almost everyday.

• The rain may cause water erosion because after it hits the ground it may carry the sediments down a stream or from a stream.

Plants and animals• The Madagascar periwinkle can survive because

the soil has very good nutrients. I think the avocado tree is adaptable by giving food to other animals.

• Monkeys,and scorpions live in the canopy and forest floor of the rainforest.I think the way the monkey is adaptable is by jumping from tree to tree.I think the way the the scorpion is adaptable is by be able to sting or hurt an animal that is trying to threat the scorpion.

• Fungi and snakes live in the forest floor and the canopy. I think they are adaptable by giving nutrients and by slithering quietly to sneak up on its prey.

Facts• Most rainforests are cleared by chainsaws, bulldozers and

fires for its woods good use.

• The plants in the rainforest can be used as medicines to help heal some cancers and other sicknesses.

• Rainforest cultures are disappearing since the rainforest are being destroyed.

• The Madagascar Periwinkle can save 8 out of 10 kids with leukemia.

• In the next 40 years scientist think that every rainforest will have been crushed.

• A lot of medicines are found in the rainforest thats why they tear the rainforest down to get the cures.
