1. Far from the equator, lots of precipitation, high temperatures.
2. Close to the equator, lots of precipitation, high temperatures.
3. Close to the equator, little precipipation, high temperatures

The rainforest is important to us humans. Which of the following statements is FALSE?

1. The rainforest is important because they are the lungs of the earth.
2. The rainforest is important because a lot of natural resources can be found there.
3. The rainforest is important because we need it for the production of our food.

If the rainforest is so important, why does the Brazilian government deforest it?

How can we use the natural resources from the rainforest, yet treat the rainforest in a more sustainable (duurzaam) way?

Chapter 2 - Paragraph 1

Important stuff

- Tropical rainforest (close to the equator)

- Home to animals and people

- Lungs of the earth

- Deforestation for 2 reasons:

1. Population distribution.

2. Natural resources: wood --> furniture --> money

- Use rainforest more sustainable (ex. reforestation)

Which of the following landscapes is the furthest away from the equator?

1. Tropical rainforest
2. Savannah
3. Steppe
4. Desert

What do we call people who don't live in one place, but travel around?

1. Farmers
2. Extensive livestock farming
3. Nomads
4. Travellers

How do nomads survive?

Which of the following statements is true.

1. More and more people are coming to the Sahel, this could be dangerous for the environment.
2. In the Sahel you can never predict the precipitation, this is good because you need a dry and wet season.
3. People who move to the Sahel are nomads.
4. It's good that people in the Sahel have a lot of animals, so they have something to eat.

What can people, who live in one place, in dry areas do to survive?

Chapter 2 - Paragraph 2

Important stuff

• The order of landscapes from the equator is: tropical rainforest, savannah, steppe, desert, temperate zone, cold/polar climates.
• Dry areas are: steppe  (grass)+ desert(nothing can grow here). 
•  Nomads: people who don't live in one place but travel. When their livestock has eaten the grass in one place, they travel to the next. 
• Way to survive in dry areas: irrigation from an oases to your land so you can water your crops. 
• Sahel: vulnerable because of overgrazing --> desertification.

Why is it hard to live in a cold area like Greenland?

Why are there (almost) no trees in Greenland?

1. It is too cold for trees to grow
2. There's not enough precipitation for trees to grow
3. Due to the thick layer of snow, the tree-seeds can't grow

In Greenland there are layers of landice that are 3000 metres thick. How was this landice formed? Use the term perpetual snow in your answer.

Cold climates can be found at...

1. High altitude
2. High latitude
3. Low altitude
4. Low latitude

Chapter 2 - Paragraph 3

Important stuff

• Cold climates and landscapes like the tundra can be found at: high latitude (polar areas) + high altitudes (in the mountains)
• Landice is formed because it is so cold that the snow does not melt, we call this perpetual snow. 
• Greenland has a low population density, because it is hard to live there due to the cold climate.
