The Rain or the Rainforest?
Here's
a question I'd never thought to ponder before: which came first, the
rainforest or the rain? One would suppose there was rain before the
rainforest appeared, but was it as much as a rainforest normally gets?
MinuteEarth explains the cycle of water moving through a tropical
forest, and what happened millions of years ago to kickstart this cycle.
However, mankind is doing extensive damage to the rainforest, which is
already showing signs of disrupting the water cycle that was
establioshed so long ago. This may have implications for global weather
in the years to come.
