The Pantanal is an area in the northern part of Argentina, and part of Brazil in the area of the borderline with Argentina. This area has two seasons, one is the wet season, and the other one is the dry season.
The wet season is characterized by heavy rainfall for a prolonged period of time, and in that period, the whole area becomes a vast marshland.
The dry season is characterized by warm and dry weather, and there is no precipitation for months, so in this period the Pantanal dries out, and the marshland is looking more like a vast grassland with little ''islands'' of trees and shrubs.
Most of the animals living here are adapted very well for both, life in the water, and life on land.

Answer:
Africa appears much bigger than the other landmasses on the Peters map projection.
Explanation:
There are numerous projection maps. All of them have some advantages and some disadvantages. One of those map projections in the Peters map projection or Gal-Peters map projection. This map projection's biggest problem is that it stretches certain parts of the world, some horizontally, some vertically.
On this map projection, Africa looks much bigger than it is, and it is comparable with the size of Asia even though Asia is much bigger in reality. The reason for this is that on the Peters map projection a vertical stretching occurrs around the Equator, and since the Equator passes around the middle of Africa the effect is the biggest at this landmass.
The biosphere is the portion of the earth that supports living things.
