What are Rainforests?

Rainforests are defined by a few factors. Most importantly is the amount and distribution of rainfall. To be a rainforest it must have 200cm of rain a year. Tropical rainforests usually receive a more steady rain around the year while temperate rainforests can vary throughout the year with a pronounced dry season.


Temperature:

Rainforests in tropical areas rarely get below 40*C. Temperatures hardley ever get hot.
