Tropical Rainforest

#1 Tropical Rain forest

#2 Description: A Tropical Rain forest is a humid and hot biome, where it has yearly rain. It gets about more than 100 inches of rain each year. Tropical Rain forests consist of four layers. The emergent layer, the canopy layer, understory, and the forest floor make up the area of a Tropical Rain forest. The emergent layer has giant trees that receive the highest amount of sunlight which they face high temperatures, heavy winds, and low humidity. The canopy layer has trees that stand 60 to 90 feet above the ground, most likely covered with plants such as epiphytes and vines. The understory receives less than 16% of the sunlight that is received to the canopy. It is dark and open with young trees and plants that are able to contain low light. The forest floor receives the least amount of sunlight and plants adapted to very low light, grows in this layer of the rain forest. Fallen leaves, branches, fruits, and seeds

Large rain forests are located in South America, Western Africa, and throughout Southeast Asia. Small rain forests are found in Central America, Madagascar, Australia, and India. These Tropical Rain forests are found in the most equatorial areas. Found in the most wettest and hottest areas, closest to the equator. Some Tropical Rain forests are the Congo basin in Africa, the Amazon basin in South America, and the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Also located on islands and lowland regions.

Climate: A Tropical Rain forest’s climate is typically hot and wet. Location near the equator, where it is warm. Are provided with rainfall yearround. It receives around 160 to 400 inches each year. They are warm and humid and temperature range from 70 to 85 degrees fahrenhiet. These areas receive a great amount of sunlight due to its location near the Earth’s equator. There is very little seasonal changes in
