What’s the largest river on Earth? If you said “the Amazon”… you’re only half right. Scientists have discovered an even bigger river in South America, and it’s in the sky above the Amazon rainforest. Turns out, this sky river is the reason there’s a rainforest at all…

CORRECTION: I am guilty in this video (as many have been) of spreading the incorrect factoid that the Amazon rainforest create 20% of the world's oxygen. This is not right for a few reasons: The Amazon rainforest does 10-20% of *land* photosynthesis, but when you factor in the amount of photosynthesis done by ocean phytoplankton, the Amazon is only about 6% of *all* photosynthesis on Earth… not to mention that the Amazon basin uses pretty much all of the oxygen it creates through decomposition and other processes. So we don't breathe much of any Amazon oxygen! I wish RU-vid let us upload corrected videos. We interviewed a source for this video that didn't make the above distinction clear, but hopefully now you won't make the same mistake I did!

@rob3r7jr 5 лет назад

Hi, I'm a Biology teacher here in Brazil. One of the greatest discussions that we'd been having is about of the "possible effect" of the Amazon in the control of temperature in the South East region of Brazil, where almost 40% or population live. Well simple idea to keep exploring this subject is if could discuss the effects of the Climatic control and the effects of fire in the microregion of the South America. We had a strong effect of some african winds and antartic air currents in the South East (which is probably the true reason why the south of our continent is so wet).

Just to clarify: although 20% of the oxygen of the world is produced there, most of it is also consumed there as well. Most of the oxygen today is actually created by plankton in the ocean (which doesn’t descresse the importance of the rain forest to the world, obviously).

@jamepearson 4 года назад

Giovanni Sena Thank u

@guifdcanalli 4 года назад

Yeah but those trees keep carbon fixed into their wood, more carbon from CO² fixed means more O² released, so in a way the amazon forest is vital to keep the levels of CO² down

@giovsenaworld 4 года назад

Guilherme Fernandes Dias Canalli I don’t see the relationship between more CO2 being fixed meaning more O2 being released but yeah, certainly.. burning the woods would causa a catastrophic CO2 release into the atmosphere, so it’s super important they stay there intact. 👍🏻

@science-y9209 4 года назад

there simply isn’t enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for trees to photosynthesis into an entire fifth of the planet's oxygen. For every batch of carbon dioxide molecules trees pull out of the air, they push a comparable number of oxygen molecules back out. Given that the atmosphere contains less than half a percent of carbon dioxide, but 21 percent oxygen, it’s not possible for the Amazon to generate that much oxygen... But this also means it would consume more carbon dioxide concentrated in the atmosphere that in turn would reduce global warming .. so it definitely makes sense to say that carbon concentration is maintained due to plants..

@efre85 5 лет назад

What is not said in the video is that trees aren't the main reason for the climate type in BIG areas. Local orography and vegetation is for sure important, but on a wider area atmospheric patterns drive climate. Atmospheric flow is organized in such a way that deserts must be at around 30 degrees latitude, because of sinking air coming down from the Hadley circulation in turn due to angular momentum conservation generated by Earth rotation. I keep it short, if you wanna know why deserts are not all exactly around 30 degrees latitude everywhere on this planet, please ask me.

@@followthelucario4388 Couldn't agree more. Also, I would to add that the deforestation of Amazon for agricultural practises is extremely inefficient, since it's fertile layers are superficial and are fastly eroded away, due to more exposure of erosive elements. Furthermore, the goverment inertia regarding such destructive environmental techniques is resulting in the boycott of agricultural commodities of (mostly) europeans nations.

I think a system this important should be everyone's responsibility. All countries should pitch in to support the conservation and protection of these systems. We can't expect Brazil alone to take care of something for everyone when they have so many other problems. Forests produce the most valuable resource for us, but the way the financial system works, it's not in the best interest of caretakers to keep it that way.

@fahadus 5 лет назад

Of course it does, but we should not simply leave it to them to deal with it, it's something we all use and must protect equally. In an ideal world, it would be an internationally conserved place where no one nation can have a say in whether it's "okay" to destroy a little. But we do not live in an ideal world. Brazil itself is dealing with corruption and instability. We should collectively incentivize them to protect the rainforest so it is, at the very least, a bit easier for them to do it, compared to now. The whole world's gone crazy, seems like it's a norm to prefer short-term economic gain over a livable planet.

The world is actually ruled not by idiots, but by psychopaths who own 90% of all money. Still, psychopaths are extremely evil and insane people. They feel little joy in general. What makes them happy above all else is to bring misery to others. if we want to bring a change, we may need to eradicate all psychopaths or make sure, that they are not able to procreate, as psychopathy is inheritable.

There are reasons much more important for why some places are dry. Most deserts have permanent high air pressure which drives winds away from them so they don't get wet air from oceans.

@Tyeewhyee Год назад

Very interesting video! Though I would point out that it is a stretch to say that the main reason why the Amazon is wet and deserts are dry comes down to the density of cloud condensation nuclei. That ignores large scale circulation considerations such as the rising and descending portions of the Hadley Cell, for example, which are a strong contributing factor to many of the world deserts (though not all, since many are caused by rainshadows for example)

@thunderflare59 4 года назад

Rivers in the Sky sounds like the name of a seriously dope song.

@Dragrath1 5 лет назад

Technically rain can on rare occasions condense without nuclei it just requires saturation levels that never really get reached as CCN's cause water to precipitate out at much lower saturation points otherwise pretty good coverage yeah people don't realize how much plants drive precipitation for instance agribusiness megafarms in the desert powered by fossil water have contributed much of the water that makes severe thunderstorm supercells increasing the severity of said storms all while draining the aquifers far faster than they can be replenished. It is all connected!

The water actually doesn't go up the tree like a straw because that would mean water is travelling up due to pressure but, actually water travels up trees by transpiration this is when the water molecules link up like a chain and when the water evaporates from the leaves the chain of water molecules is pulled up down from the roots up into the tips of the trees and out the leaves as vapour
