Amazon Rainforest - Geographical Significance

Amazon Rainforest

The Amazon Rainforest holds geographical significance because it is a home to many species of living plants and animals. The Amazon Rainforest is located in South America. Even though the rainforest covers only 6% of the world, 50% of all kinds of species live in the Amazon Rainforest. The rainforest is also known as the "Lungs of the Pacific", because it is a place that has a lot of trees. The trees in the rainforest provides all the positive oxygen which makes all the living creatures in the rainforest to live. The plants in the rainforest are used by many people to make many different types of medicines. For example, 70% of plants found to have anticancer properties are found only in the rainforest.

Significant Places

My Church

A place that is significant to me is my Church. It is significant to me because it is a place where I get to see some of my relatives who barely comes to Church. Another reason why this place is significant to me is because, it is a place where everyone comes to praise the name of the Lord. A third reason why the place is significant to me because it is one of the places that I grew up going to once or twice a week. The last reason why Church is a significant place to me is because in the house of the Lord, we all respect each other, love one another, and many other things too.
