Aashvi: Esteemed teachers and classmates,
good morning, I am Aashvi from class 7-C,
joined in my presentation by Avni, Krishna,
Om, and Sarthak. Our focus today is
Human-Environment Interactions in
tropical and subtropical regions. As experts
in this field, we will be sharing our
knowledge and expertise on this compelling
subject.

Amazon Basin, a region in South America

that is drained by the Amazon River and its
tributaries. The area is of profound
importance, encompassing an area of
approximately 7,000,000 KM2 or about
35.5 percent of the South American
continent. The river's course, in particular,
leads to the deposition of sediments and the
formation of many deltas, as seen in this
picture. Now I invite Krishna to further
expound on the topic.

Greetings, esteemed audience. My name is

Krishna, and I would like to expound on
the topic of the climate, flora, and fauna of
the Amazon basin. The Amazon River
basin experiences two primary seasons -
summer and winter. During winter, the
rivers flood the adjacent low-lying forests.
The basin's climate is typically
characterized by high temperatures and
humidity.

The Amazon basin is renowned for its

remarkable biodiversity. It is home to a
staggering 40,000 species of plants, 3,000
species of freshwater fish, 300 species of
mammals, 1,300 different bird species,
millions of insect varieties, and over 370
species of reptiles. These numbers represent
approximately one-tenth of all known
species on Earth.

I now humbly request Om to take a quiz on

this subject.

Om: thank you, my friend. I assume that

the audience has learned a lot about the
Amazon Basin. Can you tell us what the
area drained by the river and its tributaries
is called? Correct! It's called a river basin.
And which basin lies in the equatorial
region of the southern hemisphere? That's
right, it's the Amazon Basin. The staple
food 'manioc' is also known as what? Great
job! It's called cassava. Lastly, which
language is spoken by tribal people living in
the Amazon forest? Correct again, it's
Portuguese.
Mangrove forests are found in various
places, can you identify where they are
most commonly found? That's right, the
Sundarbans delta is the correct answer.
Now, let's move on to the next question.
Where does the Amazon River originate
from to the west? The Andes is the correct
answer! Finally, let's test your knowledge of
the largest river in the world. Do you know
the answer? It's the Mississippi!
Do you know what the evergreen forest in
the Amazon basin is called? That's right,
it's called Selva. Did you know which tree is
the source of both wax and rubber in the
Amazon forest? The correct answer is the
carnauba palm tree. Well, that concludes
our quiz. Now, Sarthak will provide you
with information about the Ganga-
Brahmaputra basin.

Hey, Om! Great quiz. I'd love to chat with
you guys about the Ganga-Brahmaputra
basin. It's an extensive river basin in India
formed by the Himalayan Rivers and their
tributaries, the Ganga and Brahmaputra.
The region experiences a monsoon climate,
which means that summers are hot and
winters cool. Avni, it would be great if you
could take the lead and enlighten the
audience with your valuable knowledge on
life in the Ganga-Brahmaputra basin.
Avni: Of course, The Ganga-Brahmaputra
Basin is situated in the sub-tropical region
and has a monsoon-type climate, which
favors deciduous forests. The basin is home
to a diverse range of flora and fauna,
including elephants, tigers, deer, monkeys,
and cattle. Unlike the Amazon basin, life in
the Ganga-Brahmaputra basin is relatively
smooth. It is one of the world's most
densely populated regions, with a high
population density. With that, we conclude
our presentation.
