Rainforest Biomes The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50 to 260 inches (125 to 660 cm.) of rain falls yearly. Rain forests belong to the tropical wet climate group. The temperature in a rain forest rarely gets higher than 93 °F (34 °C) or drops below 68 °F (20 °C); average humidity is between 77 and 88%; rainfall is often more than 100 inches a year. There is usually a brief season of less rain. In monsoonal areas, there is a real dry season. Rainforests now cover less than 6% of Earth's land surface. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world. About 1/4 of all the medicines we use come from rainforest plants. All tropical rain forests resemble one another in some ways. Despite these differences, each of the three largest rainforests--the American, the African, and the Asian--has a different group of animal and plant species.

Tropical Rainforest Where are tropical rainforests found? Tropical rainforests are located around the equator where temperatures stay near 80 degrees year round. Rainforests receive 160 to 400 inches (400-1000 cm) of rain each year. The largest rainforests are in Brazil (South America), Zaire (Africa) and Indonesia (South East Asia). Other tropical rainforest places are in Hawaii and the islands of the Pacific & Caribbean. What is the tropical rainforest? The Tropical Rainforest is a forest occurring in tropical areas of heavy rainfall. What is the structure of vegetation in the rainforest? The image above shows a typical cross section in the rainforest. Emergents are the tallest trees and are usually over 50 metres tall. The sea of leaves blocking out the sun from the lower layers is called the canopy. The under canopy mainly contains bare tree trunks and lianas. The shrub layer has the densest plant growth. The forest floor is usually dark and damp. How did the tropical rainforest get like this? Local: Global:
If You See This Google Warning, Act Fast: Big Brother is Watching Big Brother is watching. No kidding. And the warning is coming from none other than Google, which says government spies may be spying on you. Some believe the Google announcement may be related to the recent discovery of the data-mining virus named “Flame.” In a June 3 New York Times article, Andrew Kramer and Nicole Perlroth write: “When Eugene Kaspersky, the founder of Europe’s largest antivirus company, discovered the Flame virus that is afflicting computers in Iran and the Middle East, he recognized it as a technologically sophisticated virus that only a government could create. He also recognized that the virus, which he compares to the Stuxnet virus built by programmers employed by the United States and Israel, adds weight to his warnings of the grave dangers posed by governments that manufacture and release viruses on the internet. Mr. New Revelations about the Links Between Flame and Stuxnet . According to Wired Magazine: That about says it all. Google Also in the Privacy News
The SECRET for Undetectable Mind Control Unless you understand how reality is manifested, your destiny and the destiny of the planet will be in the hands of the ruling elite who do understand it. “Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth, because they don't want their illusions destroyed.” -Friedrich Nietzsche Living in the third dimension can be a blissful experience when you have power, health, wealth, comforts and freedom. That's what the ruling elite have manifested for themselves while the rest of the world struggles with poverty, disease, drug dependency, debt and servitude. The ultimate goal of the Illuminati is not only one world government. Notice how successful they have been at manifesting a Utopian 3rd dimension for themselves – money, yachts, private jets, castles, resorts, racehorses, corporations, gold, gems, servants and everything they desire. You are part of their manifestation. The Universal Law of Attraction What do you think about? “Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Related Posts
Wireless Electricity – No More Cables, Never Plug in Your Phone or Laptop Again - I Look Forward To Remember how you used to have to plug in the internet cord to get online? And then one day, you didn’t need to anymore because your laptop started magically connecting to the internet through the ether. That same thing is about to happen to electricity. More than a hundred years ago Nikola Tesla embarked on a quest for wireless electricity, and these days (or should I say currently), researchers at MIT are very close to bringing that dream to life. In the near future, you can say good bye to wires and flat batteries. Back in 2007, an MIT team managed to wirelessly power a light bulb at a distance of two meters. Research progress with RET is accelerating, a Witricity company has launched, and soon this technology will greatly improve our everyday lives. Applications and implications - Direct wireless power. - Automatic wireless charging. - A cordless world, inside and outside. - Reduced battery-related costs. - More practical electric vehicles. Is it safe? When will we see it?

Google Maps the Grand Canyon With 9,500 Panoramas Now you can get a taste of what it's like to experience the breathtaking wonder of the Grand Canyon, right from your computer chair. As promised, Google has added more than 9,500 panoramic images of the Grand Canyon to its Maps service, the Web giant announced on Thursday. The interactive images cover more than 75 miles of trails and surrounding roads. "Take a walk down the narrow trails and exposed paths of the Grand Canyon: hike down the famous Bright Angel Trail, gaze out at the mighty Colorado River, and explore scenic overlooks in full 360-degrees," Google Maps product manager, Ryan Falor, wrote in a blog post. You can also check out the steep inclines of the South Kaibab Trail (below), or virtually travel a few hours away to explore the mind-blowing Meteor Crater, which looks like it's from a different world entirely. The Google Street View team used Trekker, a 40-pound wearable backpack with a 15-camera system on top, to capture 360-degree views of the stunning national monument.
Butterflies Booking It North as Climate Warms Butterflies from the southern US that used to be rare in the northeast are now appearing there on a regular basis. The trend correlates to a warming climate report the authors of a paper in Nature Climate Change. Subtropical and warm-climate butterflies—including the giant swallowtail (photo above) and the zabulon skipper (photo below)—showed the sharpest population shift to the north. As recently as the late 1980s these species were rare or absent in Massachusetts. At the same time southern butterflies are moving north, more than 75 percent of northern species—with a range centered north of Boston—are rapidly declining in Massachusetts now. "For most butterfly species, climate change seems to be a stronger change-agent than habitat loss," lead author Greg Breed tells the Harvard Gazette. Breed points to the frosted elfin (photo above), a species that receives formal habitat protection from Massachusetts, and has increased 1,000 percent there since 1992.
