They represent a store of living and breathing renewable natural resources that for millions of years have contributed a wealth of resources for the survivaland well being of humans. Rainforests have given us basic foodsupplies‚ clothing‚ shelter‚ fuel‚ spices‚ industrial raw materials‚ and medicine to all those who have lived there. Everything in the rainforest is extremely

Tropical rain forest is very important for our nature such as for ecosystem balance‚ earth temperature and flora and fauna habitat. In our country Malaysia‚ most of the forest are announced as a forest reserve to preserve our forest from destroyed. Not only important to flora and fauna but also to people. For some people‚ their lives depends on forest. However‚ deforestation activity by irresponsible people has led to imbalanced ecosystem. First of all‚ the effect of deforestation is pollution

“The Impact of a Tropical Storm depends on location” How far do you agree? Tropical storms formed 5-30 degrees north of the equator‚ so if there is a largely populated area or economic centre around this latitude‚ in an area vulnerable to hurricanes‚ the impact will be increased in comparison to the tropical storm running its course over unpopulated islands or the ocean. This can be seen when looking at Hurricane Sandy‚ a tropical storm of 2012 and its impact on Cuba. Cuba was located in the Hurricane’s

Any given place may have several different ecosystems that vary in size and complexity. A tropical island‚ for example‚ may have a rain forest ecosystem that covers hundreds of square miles‚ a mangrove swamp ecosystem along the coast‚ and an underwater coral reef ecosystem.
