The answers are:
- Rainforests are located near the equator; the rainforests require special conditions to be able to prosper, like constant summer with relatively high temperatures, and almost daily precipitation, and these conditions are found around the equator.
- Species found in the rainforests may be used to cure disease; there's thousands of plants/herbs that have been proven to cure lots of diseases for which the pharmaceutical industry hasn't been able to find proper medications.
- Species found in the rainforest decrease each day; because of the destruction of the rainforest on a daily basis, lots of species, both faunal and floral, are being exterminated and thus lost forever from the face of the Earth.
Answer:
B. Functional Region
Explanation:
Functional regions have boundaries related to a practical function within a given area. When the function of an area ends, the functional region ends and its boundaries cease to exist. For example, a functional region can be defined by a newspaper service or delivery area. If the newspaper goes bankrupt, the functional region no longer exists. Church parishes, shopping malls, and business service areas are other examples of functional regions. They function to serve a region and may have established boundaries for limits of the area to which they will provide service. An example of a common service area—that is, a functional region—is the region to which a local pizza shop will deliver. A functional region is a region that serves a function. Places within in an area are linked together through a common factor. For example, a city and its surrounding suburbs creates a functional region. People generally move to the suburbs if they have a job in the city.
Answer:
A jet stream is a type of air current that forms high in the atmosphere. On average, jet streams move at about 110 miles per hour. But dramatic temperature differences between the warm and cool air masses can cause jet streams to move at much higher speeds — 250 miles per hour or faster.
Explanation:
Jets streams play a key role in determining the weather because they usually separate colder air and warmer air. Jet streams generally push air masses around, moving weather systems to new areas and even causing them to stall if they have moved too far away.
