Rainforest cover only 2 % of the total surface area of the Earth but in spite of that about 50 % of plants and animals that live on the Earth live there.

By definition rainforests are forests that recieve high amounts of rainfall so you can actually find rainforests in Alaska for example (other examples: Canada, Asia, Africa, Latin and South-America)

About 1/4 of natural medicines are found in rainforests. 70 % or more of the plants that are used to treat cancer are found only in tropical rainforest on the planet.

Trees in tropical rainforests are so dense that it takes approximately 10 min for the rainfall to reach the ground from canopy.

What is the most likely explanation for the results in the graph?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. The apple orchard releases toxic chemicals into the water of the  bay.

Explanation:

Option B is the correct answer. It is the most likely explanation for the results in the graph.

From the graph, we can see that the population of the fishes sharply dropped. Since the fertilizer is applied to the apple orchard and the orchard was planted beside the bay, during the rain it is possible that the water has washed some of the fertilizers into the bay. The chemicals used in making fertilizer are harmful and toxic.

This reveals that the toxic chemicals released from the apple orchard are responsible for the decline in the population of the fish.
