Study Notes
- A jungle is a forested area that combines warm temperatures with dense, ground-level vegetation.
- Jungles don't have as much skyscraping vegetation, so unlike rainforests don't have a thick canopy.
- In a rainforest the canopy block sunlight reaching the forest floor, so restricts vegetation growing on the forest floor, and holds in the moisture and humidity.
- Because jungles have a much sparser canopy they are drier and lighter than rainforests and have much more vegetation growing at ground level.
- Jungles are similar to rainforests in many ways, but there are some key differences.
- Rainforests are more humid than jungles and have a thicker canopy.
