The tropical forests can roughly be divided into two major groups, tropical evergreen forests and tropical deciduous forests. The division is made in accordance to the characteristics of the trees.

The trees in the tropical evergreen forests are green throughout all of the year. The reason behind this is that they have constant temperature all year long, and constantly high amounts of rainfall all year long, so there is no need for them to shed their leaves.

The trees in the tropical deciduous forests, on the other hand, are shedding their leaves. This means that in one part of the year these trees have green leaves, while in the other part of the year they are shedding their leaves and the branches are stripped. The main reason behind this is that the rainfall occurs only seasonally, when pretty much all rainfall for the year falls in few months. After that, a very long period of drought and very high temperatures starts. In order to survive and not get damaged, the trees are shedding their leaves, thus they almost put them selves in an hibernating phase until the next rainy season.

How did the noblemen spend their free time in ancient Egypt
shepuryov [24]

The ancient Egyptian noblemen usually would be very busy with their daily appointments with overseers of their much treasured land. However, music played a vital role in their lives. To pass time, they threw lavish parties. Consumption of beer, wine, and narcotics was common.

They also spent their leisure time in their own gardens next to their houses like people do today. They could go outside and relax. They also loved to over-stuff themselves and enjoy a good laugh. Fishing was also done at their free time and would go severally to river Nile. Most of the fishing was enjoyed as a timeout from hard work. They also hunted for sport. Noblemen caught wild animals.
