O QUE SIGNIFICA RAINFOREST EM INGLÊS

Floresta tropical

Rainforest

As florestas tropicais são florestas caracterizadas por chuvas elevadas, com precipitação anual entre 250 e 450 centimetros. Existem dois tipos de floresta tropical: floresta tropical e floresta tropical temperada. A calha de monção, alternativamente conhecida como a zona de convergência intertropical, desempenha um papel significativo na criação das condições climáticas necessárias para as florestas tropicais da Terra. Cerca de 40% a 75% de todas as espécies bióticas são indígenas das florestas tropicais. Estima-se que pode haver muitos milhões de espécies de plantas, insetos e microorganismos ainda não descobertos em florestas tropicais. As florestas tropicais foram chamadas de "jóias da Terra" e a "maior farmácia do mundo", porque mais de um quarto dos medicamentos naturais foram descobertos lá. As florestas tropicais também são responsáveis ​​por 28% do volume de negócios de oxigênio do mundo, às vezes denominado produção de oxigênio, processando-o através da fotossíntese do dióxido de carbono e consumindo-o através da respiração. A vegetação subterrânea em algumas áreas de uma floresta tropical pode ser restringida pela penetração da luz solar ao nível do solo.

Rainforests are forests characterized by high rainfall, with annual rainfall between 250 and 450 centimetres. There are two types of rainforest: tropical rainforest and temperate rainforest. The monsoon trough, alternatively known as the intertropical convergence zone, plays a significant role in creating the climatic conditions necessary for the Earth's tropical rainforests. Around 40% to 75% of all biotic species are indigenous to the rainforests. It has been estimated that there may be many millions of species of plants, insects and microorganisms still undiscovered in tropical rainforests. Tropical rainforests have been called the "jewels of the Earth" and the "world's largest pharmacy", because over one quarter of natural medicines have been discovered there. Rainforests are also responsible for 28% of the world's oxygen turnover, sometimes misnamed oxygen production, processing it through photosynthesis from carbon dioxide and consuming it through respiration. The undergrowth in some areas of a rainforest can be restricted by poor penetration of sunlight to ground level.

10 CITAÇÕES EM INGLÊS COM «RAINFOREST»

Citações e frases célebres com a palavra rainforest.

1

Mark Barrowcliffe

The rainforest has an intense beauty that at times seems almost suffocating. The jungle is one twig short of impenetrable, and the greenery seems to crowd in on you with a sensation that has been described as akin to snow blindness.

2

John Collison

You know the way trees break through the canopy in the rainforest and they go from having this tiny column of light to having all this light - the Internet is kind of like that.

3

Richard Flanagan

I come from a tiny mining town in the rainforest in an island at the end of the world. My grandparents were illiterate.

4

Chris Kilham

Rainforest land is mistakenly valued solely for the worth of its timber, mining and oil resources by short-sighted corporations and governments.

5

Chris Kilham

Promoting the use of sustainable and renewable rainforest products can help to stop rainforest devastation. The rainforests are much more valuable alive than cut or burned, providing a steady supply of medicinal plants, fruits, nuts and oils.

6

Candice Millard

When I began work on my first book, 'The River of Doubt,' which tells the story of Theodore Roosevelt's 1914 descent of an unmapped river in the Amazon rainforest, I thought of it as a tale of adventure, exploration and extraordinary courage.

7

Rhianna Pratchett

I think the Dutch certainly get British comedy. And let's face it; a lot of it is pretty low-hanging fruit for the whole world now. There are probably tribes in the heart of the Papua New Guinean rainforest that know all the words to the Dead Parrot sketch.

8

William T. Vollmann

A common measure of poverty is how much money you have in relation to other people - that is useful as far as it goes, but that excludes the case of, say, a hunter in the rainforest who has no money but is not poor. And there can be a number of people with money but who can consider themselves unwanted or invisible or estranged from society.

9

Vivienne Westwood

I do think we're an endangered species. But that we do have a plan to save the rainforest.

10

E. O. Wilson

Destroying rainforest for economic gain is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a meal.
