15 Facts about amazon forest you didn't know

15 Facts About The Amazon You Didn't Know


Facts About the Amazon Rainforest

1. The Amazon is arguably the longest river in the world at 6,992 km, and contains more water than the Mississippi, Nile, and Yangtze combined.


2. The name 'Amazon' was given by Spanish explorer Francisco Orellana, after he was attacked by female warriors named theIcamiabas, or 'women without husbands'. He compared them to the Amazons of Greek mythology.

3. The Amazon delivers 55 million gallons of water into the Atlantic ocean every second.

4. More than 20% of the world's oxygen is produced by the Amazon rainforest.
Rainforest Deforestation


5. If Amazonia were a country, it would be the 9th largest in the world, measuring in at a whopping 2.5 million square miles.

6. 25% of all western pharmaceuticals come from rainforest based ingredients, yet less than 1% of the trees and plants in the Amazon have ever been tested by scientists.

7. The Amazon rainforest contains more than 3,000 fruits. Only 200 of these are consumed in the western world.

8. More than 80% of the world's food has its origins in the Amazon rainforest.

9. One hectare (2.47 acres) of the rainforest can contain more than 750 types of tree, and 1,500 types of plant.

10. The Amazon rainforest can be found in 9 South American countries; Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and the three Guyanas.

11. The rainforest floor is very dark, with less than 1% of the light making it through the canopy of the trees.
12. Due to deforestation, it is estimated we are making more than 137 species extinct every day!

13. Whilst deforestation has slowed in recent years, the Amazon rainforest is still disappearing at a rate of 1.5 acres every second, meaning the Amazon will be completely destroyed within 40 years if deforestation continues at the current rate.

14. Around 30% of our carbon emissions come from burning the Amazon rainforest.

15. In 2006 geologists studying the speed at which the Amazon carried sediments out to sea found, to their surprise, that the oldest sediments they found were upstream of their source. They soon realized that, until the Cretaceous Period, the Amazon actually flowed backward, east to west! It wasn’t until the Andes Mountains began their rise 100 million years ago that the river reversed course and chose its current direction.

Thunderlands, the new book of Stewart Bint.

Hello writers and readers, 
What's better than a new book to read for the weekend ? 
Here we go!  Thunderlands! the new book of my friend Stewart Bint !  
Below there is the description of Thunderlands, have a look! 

 
Aliens, Santa and Ghosts in New Book

What do Santa Claus, a frozen moment in time from four hours ago, a steam train, and a guy hanging around outside a bank, have in common?
Likewise, what does a jilted husband who's anxious to be convicted of asaulting his wife's lover have in common with a man who discovers a genie, a tentacled alien scientist with a two-foot long trunk and three eyes on stalks, and a pale girl lurking in a teenager's every dream?
Well, they all appear in author Stewart Bint’s latest book from Creativia Publishing. Thunderlands is an eclectic collection of 21 short stories, available both in paperback and e-format for Kindles and Kindle apps.
Stewart, who is also a Public Relations writer and has his own column in a local magazine, says: “The book has been described as a study of human nature. Readers will be able to relate to many of the situations, but then discover there’s something just a little unusual and different about them. 

 
One of the stories is about cyber bullying; another about a sad ghost looking for a friend; one about Santa Claus going on trial; and a story about an alien monster which eats children. There are even two poems.”
Literary critics have said the stories range from the sublime, through powerful, puzzling, funny, horrific and different, to the unforgivably ridiculous.
And Thunderlands has attracted praise from other authors. Fantasy novelist D.M. Cain says the stories form a diverse range of styles and genres, while W.R. Watkins says: “Each story is brilliant and unique.”
Sixty-three-year-old Stewart has four novels in print – To Rise Again, also from Creativia; along with The Jigsaw and the Fan, Timeshaft, and In Shadows Waiting, which are published by fantasy and science fiction specialists, Dragon Moon Press.
All of his books, and a number of anthologies to which he has contributed short stories, are available from his dedicated author page on Amazon:

Illusional Reality duology.

Once more a prophesy informed the reader of oracles, that only Thya could stop the war and save not just her people, but the rest of Enumac from Kovon’s psychotic future plans.
Along with three other companions, Thya is sent on a perilous quest to locate a dark crystal which holds an evil known as the Dark Force.

Thya’s power becomes stronger and a second will threatens to take over her mind body and soul.
A terrifying surprise waits for them in the city of Helkon.
Will they survive?
Will Thya return to Tsinia and for the final showdown with Kovon?

Find out by reading the thrilling concluding part of Illusional Reality.




The only film that grabbed my attention and held me there with an open mouth, was the amazing Lord of the Rings trilogy.

They said that whoever took that 3-book fantasy on, had to be crazy. Peter Jackson wasn't crazy, but he was a hobbit in his heart.

His vision and attention to detail just made this magical film pop.
It was after watching the first film, Fellowship of the Ring, that the story of Becky and her magical adventure took place in my mind, heart and soul.
By the time the 1hr journey from the cinema had ended I had the names, plot, conflicts, storyline, everything written in my head. and then as most writers know, once you're in the "zone" there is no stopping you. By the time the second film, Two Towers, book two, The Quest was again plotted in my mind and it didn’t take long to get the first draft on paper.



 
The Quest by Karina Kantas is the sequel to her book Illusional Reality. Becky is once again pulled from England back to the world of Tsinia where she is The Princess. Thya is Becky’s name in this astonishing fantasy world. Thya is the only one who can save her people and their land. They have been forced to leave their magical land and live in caves to survive. The world along with the characters are fleshed out even more with the addition of more monsters and characters and magic. You travel with Thya and a couple others through trials and tribulations which are expertly created to make their Quest either successful or a failure. Her magic becomes even stronger but alas there is a dark side to it that she has trouble controlling. This is a definite page turner. You will become completely invested in Thya and her companions surviving and making it back to Tsinia. The action is nonstop as Thya and her companions run into many intriguing problems. I loved both books. If you like fantasy worlds that take you away these are just the books you need.”
Karina Kantas is the author of the popular OUTLAW series.
Thrillers involving outlaw motorcycle clubs and the highly rated romantic fantasy ILLUSIONAL REALITY


She also writes short stories and when her imagination is working over time, she writes thought provoking dark flash fiction.

There are many layers to Karina's writing style and talent. As is displayed in her flash fiction collection, Heads & Takes. And in UNDRESSED she opens up more to her fans. Giving them another glimpse of her warped mind. 


When Karina isn't busy working on her next best seller, she's runs affordable indie author services. KKantas AuthorAssist. Social Media Consultant, Book Trailer designer, Narration, Branding and Logo design, Marketing and Promotion Manager, design and VA.

EXCERPT

City of Helkon


The door to the cell unlocked and Thya stood up. King Theon slowly entered. Almost cautiously. With his hands on his hips, he tilted his head and his eyebrows creased. The king pointed to her and then to a bowl that his servant held out. Thya peered into it and saw the same glittery substance that she had used in the throne room. It seemed stupid to refuse him. She did as she was told and, once the spell touched her lips, Theon’s words became clear.
“Rotate,” he commanded.
She turned around as instructed. A Rant pushed her hair aside, exposing her bare back and neck.
“Tis so then,” Theon exclaimed.
Thya turned around to face him. “What is so?”

He bent his head to the side, and his eyes widened. “You are not aware?” He stepped back. “Yet you possess the ancient emblem.”
“What ancient emblem? Will you not reveal the significance?” She would not beg even though she needed answers.
Theon’s sudden change of behaviour concerned her. His stance and facial expressions went from awe to surprise, then almost to fear. His head tilted again, and his hand rested on his chin as he walked around her.
“Do you not comprehend your greatness? Do you not realize who you are?”
“Of course, I am Queen Thya of Tsinia, Guardian of the Changlins.”
“Have you not marvelled at the difference with yourself and that of other Ganties? Surely you have experienced strength and a will that cannot be bested?”
“With certainty.”
“You possess the emblem.”
“What emblem?”
“Upon your back.”
“Tis naught but a birthmark.”
“Nay, Queen. You are mistaken. The mark as you name it, is an emblem of exceptional greatness. I understand now why your thoughts were blocked from me. Immortality appears with a value. I wonder what you would bestow for the quest of eternal youth?”
Nothing he said made sense to her but, before she could demand answers, the King jumped up and down and rubbed his hands like an excited young boy. “I will present you to the Bustak, as homage,” he said, rubbing his hands together as a huge smile etched on his face.
His next words were foreign to her. The magic of the spell had worn off, so she just stood and watched the Rant and the king communicate, hoping to get an idea of what was going to happen next.
Theon grinned and patted the guard’s back. They spoke briefly and nodded their heads as they continued to stare at her. She wished she understood. Who or what was the Bustak? The name raised goose pimples on her arms, and the belief that this was, again, the end of the road for her returned.
The guard led her from the cell and back into the palace. There were no shackles, no Rant gripping her arms. They walked beside her but kept glancing at her. She ignored them and concentrated on calling out with her mind. Alkazar, my love, where are you? She repeated it over and over, with no knowledge of whether he could hear her but, if he had, there was no answer.
