Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In 2000, every seven minutes a(n) _______ of rainforest was gone forever. What is the missing word?

Answer: Acre

An acre of rainforest is gone forever every seven minutes. At the current rate of destruction, in 20 years the rainforest will be almost non-existent. The consequences for the earth are dire, but the rate of destruction is likely to increase.

2. The continental United States has its own tropical rainforest.

Answer: False

The tropical rainforest exists only in tropical areas. North America does have rainforests along the Northern Pacific coast, but they are temperate rainforests. (Discovery Channel)

3. What animal of the Brazilian rainforest was discovered in the 1980s?

Answer: Golden Lion Tamarin

The Golden Lion Tamarin was discovered in the 1980s. It lives primarily in the Brazilian Rainforest. (Discovery Channel)

4. Does Australia have a rainforest?

Answer: Yes

Australia does have a rainforest. It's not the biggest, it's one of the smallest areas of rainforest. (Wildlife Factfile)

5. When a piece of rainforest is bulldozed, what is the most common thing that is put in its place?

Answer: farms

When an area of rainforest is bulldozed, people erect farms. The farms can last for a few years, but the great abundance of water in the soil eventually gives way and the land can not be used for farming anymore. Unfortunately, once the rainforest is gone, it's gone forever. (National Geographic Explorer and Discovery Channel)
