GEOGRAPHY. DESCRIBE A LANDSCAPE

                              IGUAZU FALLS

For this project I have choose IGUAZU FALLS in Argentina

The Iguazu Falls are a group of falls that are located above the Iguazu River,between Argentina and Paraná (Brasil) They are in an protected land in both of the countries (Parque Nacional de Iguazú in Argentina and Parque Nacional do Iguazu in Brasil) They have been chosen as one of the ''7 MARAVILLAS DEL MUNDO''.And they were discovered by Núñez Cabeza de Vaca

They have 278 jumps at the part of Argentina; but the most incredible jump of these falls is ''Garganta del Diablo'',this has the maximum flow of the falls

The falls have got a Subtropical Climate,that is very different than the others Subtropical climates,so we are going to sort out by the differents seasons that this climate has.

-SUMMER. (From December to March) the temperatures are high and regular during the whole 24 hours due to its regular and abundant precipitations that cause that the climate be very wet.

-AUTUMN. (From March to June) the temperatures during the day are mild and sometimes high but during the night they are cold.

-WINTER. (From June to September) the temperatures are mild during the morning and in the first hours of the afternoon,then the rest of the day they are cool but at the night they fall sharply.

In all of these seasons the precipitations are very abundant,but there is a lot of humidity.

-SPRING. (From September to December) The temperatures are high during all the day and the nights are cool but plesants.This is the best season to visit this falls becauese the precipitations aren't very abundant and the temperatures aren't very hot like as in summer.






The vegation of Iguazu Falls

The ''Selva Misionera'' houses more than 2000 species of plants and flowers,the abundant precipitations and the hot of the Subtropical sun make it,one of the regions of the planet with the most biodiversity.

One of the most common specie of this park in ''Palo Rosa'' a tree that measure more than 40 meters,its name is due to the colour of its wood,and it is a ''Monumento Nacional''.And this type of tree habit with a specie of a palm tree called ''Palmito'' (the cut of this tree causes the death of it)

         

Another tipical plants of this climate are the ''helechos arborescentes,the orquídeas,the guatambú,the pindó and the clavel of the air''.And the ''Ceibo''.

             

The fauna of the Iguazu Falls

Is formed of mamals, the mono capuchino,the oso melenero,the comadrejas and the coendú.
