Big storm

There was A big storm. I was very scared. windows, glasses and pots for plants were falling down from the buildings. Even the heavy medal things that said don not park were blowing around. roofs of houses even were blowing off. It was horrible so my mommy and daddy called my cousin ( Enriquitos ) house and stayed there a little while till the storm went. My daddy explained that the wind was stronger in Marbella because Marbella was close to the sea so the wind was very strong. Were Eriquito lived was not close to sea so they were safer then we were. I even rode bicycles there. I was not scared any more and also safe.

Tropical Rain Forest

Good morning teacher and classmates. My name is Brittany padilla Morales. Today I am going to talk about the tropical rain forest.

The tropical rain forest is one of the most beautiful environments on the planet. There are more different typs of plants and animals in the tropical rain forest than any other environment combined. Today I will be talking about worms, monkeys, tigers, and eagl's as well as fruit tree, canopy trees, bromeliads, and mushrooms.

Worms are mostly found on the ground where there is rich soil. They create tunnles in the ground wich allows air and nutrients to mix, benefiting the plants growing there. Worms are also food for birds and other animals

Monkeys live in the trees. They are very intelligent and live together in families. They eat leaves, fruits, seeds, nuts, flowers, eggs, and small animals including insects and spiders.

Eagls sore around the trees to stay away from eneiems. They dive down to the ground to catch there pray. They eat sloths,monkeys, and other small mammals.

Tigers are found anywhere they can find food. Tigers eat monkeys, birds, rabbits, fish, and other animals. Tigers are predators and hunt their prey alone.

Fruit trees provide food and shelter for the animals in the rainforest. Tropical rainforest contain a wide variety of fruit trees. Some fruits that can be found include banannas, oranges, coconuts,and mango.

Canopy trees can grow to 120 feet. They provide shelter to the animals of the rain forest. The also provide shade which pevents the forest below from growing too dents.

Bromeliads are a kind of tropical plant with leaves like a pineapple. Some bromeliads, such as spanish moss, grow on other trees. Otherssuch as pineapples store water in a tank at the bace of there leaves.

Mushrooms are found on the forest floor.A Mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. Some mushroom are used as medicine,and others are used for food.

The animals that live in the rainforest have learned to eat the foods and live in the shelter that the rain forest provides. This makes the rainforest the perfect place for these animals environment. Most of them would not survive outside of it.

Thank you for your attention and have a good day.
