Rainforest
The rainforest is located around the world in tropical areas. It receives high precipitation daily and has an average temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The trees are tall, ranging from 127 to 660 cm in height. Abiotic factors like water, sunlight, climate and weather affect the millions of animal and plant species living in the rainforest. A food chain shows producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers and tertiary consumers transferring energy as they consume each other. The water, carbon and nitrogen cycles continuously circulate these elements between the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. Environmental issues facing the rainforest include deforestation which causes habitat loss for many species. Solutions to protect the rainforest involve reducing deforestation

- 6. Water Cycle/Carbon Cycle/Nitrogen Cycle Water Cycle: The cycle of processes which water circulates betweens Earth’s ocean, atmosphere, and land. Carbon Cycle: The series of precesses by which carbon compounds are inter converter in the environment. Nitrogen Cycle: The series of processes by which nitrogen and its compounds are interconverted in the environment and in living organisms.
