Amazon Rainforest

This forest covers most of the northern region of South America and is the largest tropical river forest in the world, with a hot and humid climate and abundant rainfall.

In general terms, it is divided into mainland and flooded. The terra firme forests are located in higher regions, where there is no flooding. The igapó forests are located on low lands, close to rivers, and therefore remain almost flooded. Lowland forests are only temporarily flooded.

Among mammals, primates (guariba, paunchy and other monkeys), carnivores (jaguar, coati, ferret, puma), anteaters, sloths, squirrels, deer, wild pigs and aquatic mammals (fish ox, otter and giant otter). There is a wide variety of birds, such as curassows, toucans, macaws and birds. Among the reptiles, there are lizards, alligators, turtles and snakes. There is also a varied collection of amphibians, fish and a multitude of invertebrates.

To preserve the Amazon, several social measures must be taken. Among them: the generation of formal jobs for those who live off deforestation; investment in health and education to raise the living standard of the region's inhabitants; the regularization of rural properties; increasing numbers of rangers; expansion of reforestation and financial stimulus for forest preservation

Uniform rectilinear motion

Uniform rectilinear motion The movement is relative The movement of a body, seen by an observer, depends on the reference frame in which the observer is situated. Source: https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.e77fbd76f41c851355c4417b3653c06e?rik=kb076FHHKTn9uQ&riu=http%3a%2f%2fprofademir.no.comunidades.net%2fimagens%2ftraj.gif&ehk=cz0F%2bfhrQcrCGDUQKSOFBZOfiEy%2fpSqtN6v6UbV8%2b7g%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0 An observer B, in a train (which moves on the tracks), and the observer A, stationary on the Earth. For observer A, observer B is in motion, along with the train. However, from the point of view of observer B, observer A is moving in the opposite direction to the movement of the train on Earth. Uniform rectilinear motion Distance, speed and time When a body moves with constant velocity along a rectilinear path, we say that its motion is uniform rectilinear. The word "uniform" indicates that the velocity value remains constant. We can find the distance traveled by an ...

French Revolution

French Revolution The French Revolution can be considered, for the political world, what the Industrial Revolution was for the economy. In other words, one could no longer understand politics from then on without the references of the French Revolution. With the French Revolution, the social, political and economic barriers to capitalism were decisively weakened. In addition, there was a significant demographic growth in France, which required a corresponding economic development. Instead, low agricultural production resulting from feudal impediments to productivity, exacerbated by droughts and floods, caused the price of wheat to rise sharply, and even bread became an almost prohibitive item for the low-income population, spreading misery and famine in French territory. The economic rise of the bourgeoisie came up against the regulations, prohibitions and taxation dictated by the absolute state. Thus, it was imperative to eliminate mercantilist practices so that there could be th...

The set of all points whose distance from O is less than or equal to r is called a sphere with center O and radius r. The spherical surface with center O and radius r is the set of points whose distance from point O is equal to r. We can imagine a spherical surface as the "shell" of a sphere, but a shell without thickness.
