sergey [27]1 year ago

The heat that remains inside the Earth from its creation and radioactive decay are its main heat sources.

The deep earth receives heat from three main sources: (1) heat left over from the planet's formation and accretion, (2) frictional heating brought on by denser core material sinking to the planet's centre, and (3) heat from radioactive element decay.

The energy produced when unstable atoms decay is known as radioactivity, and it is a substantial contributor to the Earth's heat. The main source are the radioactive isotopes of uranium-235 (235U), uranium-238 (238U), potassium-40 (40K), and thorium-232 (232Th) in the Earth's mantle.

Why are rainforests so biodiverse and what are the implications of this for the ecology of the plants and animals living there?
Anna11 [10]

Explanation:

The rainforests typically have high biodiversity i.e it has large covers of flora and fauna.

The tropical rainforests are considered to be the oldest biome on earth and that is why they have high biodiversity also there fact is the geographical area of these rainforests are pretty enormous and widespread across the globe.

the tropical rainforests provides equitable climate i.e good amount of rainfall and warm temperature which is a optimum conditions for plants and animal species to survive and also features the best conditions for regular food supplies and growth in natural biodiversity.

many different sources of food and types of shelters are also available in the tropical rainforest, fulfilling the conditions for a vast varieties in natural biodiversity. another important factor that the situations arises in this areas makes way for the new species such as natural disturbance and presence of mountain regions makes home for the refugee species to survive and live.

so these are the reasons why rainforests are typically so biodiversed.

plants and animals ecology in the rainforest has not been in the perfect condition which use to be some decades back it is worsening with time and is a matter of concern.

Tropical rainforests loss is a major environment concern today as because of global climate change has caused major deforestation in the tropical areas. people's influence on the rainforest is also a big problem to watch for.they have started clearing these huge forest cover for wood for furniture  and for agriculture and cattle grazing. apart from these issues extinction of species due to global warming has also taken place.

Increase in green house gases and change in natural water cycle have started effecting the natural environment of these rainforests and so tropical rainforests today is big environment concern, as plants and animal's ecology has been disturbed.and losing of natural habitat.

Please help! I would appreciate if you don’t copy offline! Have a amazing day or night, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

I didn’t copy

My answer:

Despite the fact that everybody realizes that seawater is pungent, not many realize that even little varieties in sea surface saltiness (i.e., convergence of broke down salts) can effectsly affect the water cycle and sea flow. Since Earth's commencement, certain cycles have served to make the sea pungent. The enduring of rocks conveys minerals, including salt, into the sea. Dissipation of sea water and arrangement of ocean ice both increment the saltiness of the sea. Anyway these "saltiness raising" factors are ceaselessly offset measures that decline saltiness, for example, the nonstop contribution of new water from streams, precipitation of downpour and day off, liquefying of ice.
I hope that helped you a lot
