¿Qué fue primero, la lluvia o el bosque lluvioso?

The video explores the relationship between plants and water, focusing on rainforests. It explains how plants lose water during photosynthesis, contributing to the water cycle that sustains rainforests. The evolution of flowering plants, which lose more water, has increased rainfall in these regions. Deforestation threatens this balance, leading to drier climates and increased wildfires.

Why can rainforest trees afford to lose more water compared to other plants?

• They have thicker leaves.

• The water supply is virtually limitless due to frequent rain.

• The forest floor is always dry.

• They have deeper roots.

What was a significant change in plant evolution that led to the formation of rainforests?

• The development of thicker bark.

• The emergence of flowering plants.

• The growth of taller trees.

• The spread of coniferous forests.

How did flowering plants contribute to increased rainfall in tropical regions?

• By having larger leaves.

• By absorbing more sunlight.

• By losing more water into the air.

• By growing faster than other plants.

What is a current threat to the Amazon rainforest mentioned in the video?

• Increased rainfall.

• Unusual droughts and wildfires.

• Overpopulation of wildlife.

• Excessive tourism.

What action is suggested to combat drought in rainforests?

• Building more dams.

• Increasing agricultural land.

• Reducing animal populations.

• Planting more trees.
