Climate of Tropical Rainforest

• The tropical rain forest is a forest that has tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. The precipitation of a tropical rainforest yearly is 50-260 cm. Rain forests belong to the tropical wet climate group. The temperature in a rain forest rarely gets higher than 93 °F (34 °C) or drops below 68 °F (20 °C);the average humidity is between 77 and 88%; rainfall is often more than 100 inches a year. The average temperature in a tropical rainforest is 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Tropical Rainforests don’t have dry/wet seasons because it rains throughout the year. The Daylight totals every day in a Tropical Rainforest is 12 hours. Almost all rain forests lie near the equator. Rainforests now cover less than 6% of Earth's land surface. Scientists have estimated that more than half of all the world's plant and animal species live in tropical rain forests. Tropical rainforests produce 40% of Earth's oxygen. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world. Scientists have counted about 100 to 300 species in one 2 ½ acres area in South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest are trees. The weather effects the Tropical Rainforest with all that rain so the animals have to find shelter and sometimes they can’t find shelter because people are destroying animal’s homes and are building factories and homes and animals are suffering to survive. The weather in a Tropical Rainforest rarely changes month to month. The average wind speed is 35-50 kph.

Where Biome is Found in World

• This biome is found in Central America,South America, South East Asia, and Australia. They can also be found in most equatorial areas.

Physical features

• The topography ranges from rainforest to rainforest but all share certain features of vegitation and ecology.

How do humans influence the environment

• People cut down trees for wood and other materials, but this is slowly killing off tropical rainforests and the animals in it.
