The world's largest forest '' AMAZON ''



The amazon tropical rainforest

The amazon tropical rainforest is the largest forest in the world with an area of 2300000km sq. 
.It is probably the most well-known and popular forest in the world as well as the list. Amazonia or the Amazon Jungle is the wonder to everyone. The interesting matter is it goes through several countries such as Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Surinam, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Guyana.Here are some facts which we need to know -
  1. The Amazon River is by far the world's largest river by volume, carrying more than five times the volume of the Congo or twelve times that of the Mississippi. It drains an area nearly the size of the forty-eight contiguous United States and has over 1,100 tributaries, 17 of which are longer than 1000 miles.

  2. The Amazon River once flowed west-ward instead of east-ward as it does today. The rise of the Andes caused it to flow into the Atlantic Ocean.

  3. The Amazon is estimated to have 16,000 tree species and 390 billion individual trees

  4. Nearly two-thirds of the Amazon rainforest is found in Brazil.

  5. The Amazon is thought to have 2.5 million species of insects. More than half the species in the Amazon rainforest are thought to live in the canopy.

  6. 70 percent of South America's GDP is produced in areas that receive rainfall or water from the Amazon. The Amazon influences rainfall patterns as far away as the United States.

  7. Cattle ranching accounts for roughly 70 percent of deforestation in the Amazon.

  8. Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest has been declining since 2004, mostly due to the falling deforestation rate in Brazil. There are a variety of reasons for the decline, including macroeconomic trends, new protected areas and indigenous territories, improved law enforcement, deforestation monitoring via satellite, pressure from environmental groups, and private sector initiatives.
The Amazon forest lies near the amazon river . So let us know few things about our Amazon river .

A strange fish

Image
                             Stone Fish Stonefish are the most poisonous of all fishes. They are discovered throughout shallow seaside waters of the northern half of Australia. The fish generally lies motionless, typically partly buried in the substrate and completely camouflaged amongst surrounding rocky reef, coral , debris, or marine plants. The fish has 13 sharp strong dorsal fin spine that is included within a sheath of thick skin. At the base of each spine are 2 venom glands that release their contents along ducts in the spinal column. When interrupted, the fish erects its spinal columns, however keeps its position on the sea flooring. Stings typically strike the feet of waders or swimmers who have actually ventured far from the tidy sandy substrate and closer to the more intricate bottom structure chosen by the stonefish. Numerous spines can typically permeate affected limbs, leading to more substanti...

How the life cycle of animals begin

                Life Cycle starting of Animals https://youtu.be/EveXa4INfo8 This video has tremendous information watch it . The geological time scale (GTS), as defined by international convention,[3] depicts the large spans of time from the beginning of the Earth to the present, and its divisions chronicle some definitive events of Earth history. (In the graphic, Ma means "million years ago".) Earth formed around 4.54 billion years ago, approximately one-third the age of the universe, by accretion from the solar nebula.[4][5][6] Volcanic outgassing probably created the primordial atmosphere and then the ocean, but the early atmosphere contained almost no oxygen. Much of the Earth was molten because of frequent collisions with other bodies which led to extreme volcanism. While the Earth was in its earliest stage (Early Earth), a giant impact collision with a planet-sized body named Theia is thought to have formed the Moon. Over time, the Earth coo...

Another Galaxy ! Phoenix Dwarf

Image
                    PHOENIX DWARF teresting Fun Facts Phoenix Dwarf Galaxy is a Seyfert 1 Galaxy in deep space. It is not located in the Milky Way Galaxy. It is located in the constellation of Phoenix. Phoenix Dwarf Galaxy Location The Phoenix Dwarf Galaxy's location is 01 51 06.3 (R.A.) and -44 26 41 (Dec.). The Right Ascension is the angular distance of an object along the celestial equator from the March Equinox. As rough guide, the location is located in the constellation of Pisces. If the number is negative, it is "west" of the March Equinox. The Declination is the angle of the object from the celestial equator. A negative value indicates it is in the southern hemisphere. Attributes of Phoenix Dwarf Galaxy Radial Velocity The Radial Velocity, that is the speed at which the object is moving away/towards the Sun is -13.0 km/s . When the value is negative then the deep space object and the Sun are getting closer to ...
