Then consider each of the 3 possible answers. Which one is NOT true?
To determine which statement about the rainforest is false, let's examine each statement and the information associated with it.
a. Rainforests contain more than half of the 30 million plant and animal species in the world.
To verify this statement, we can conduct research using reputable sources such as scientific journals or trusted environmental organizations. By searching for information on the number of species in rainforests and comparing it to the total number of species worldwide (estimated around 30 million), we can find scientific consensus on whether rainforests actually contain more than half of these species.
b. Rainforests help regulate world temperatures and weather patterns, and contain a large portion of limited fresh drinking water.
This statement is generally accepted as true. Rainforests contribute to regulating global temperatures through their role in capturing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen through photosynthesis. They also play a significant role in water cycle dynamics, affecting weather patterns, and acting as a crucial water source for many communities.
c. Rainforests have recently grown into nearby biomes.
To verify this statement, we need to examine the process of rainforest expansion and its interaction with neighboring ecosystems. We can look for research studies, articles, or reports that explore changes in rainforest boundaries and any encroachment into other biomes. This will provide us with the necessary information to determine the accuracy of the statement.
By investigating the available information and sources, we can identify which of the statements about the rainforest is false.
