There are 3 main regions of the tropical rainforest. Some of the rainforests are located in South and Central America, West and Central Africa, and Southeast Asia. Other rainforests that are smaller are located in Central America, Madagascar, Australia and nearby islands, India, and other locations in the tropics.Tropical rain forests are located around the equator. There are high temperatures at the equator. Tropical rainforests cover about 7% of the earth's surface.

There are many plants in the tropical rainforest. Some of the plants are durian, mongroves, and tualang. Many ferns and mosses grow in the tropical rainforest. Some of the plants we use are bananas, sugar cane, and nutmeg. Other plants that grow in the rainforest are the phillipine fig, peaock plant, and banyan tree. The tropical rainforest is home to many plants.

The rainforest is home to more than half of the world's animals. A common characteristic found among the animals is an adaptation to living in trees.Other animals are brightly colored, have unique patterns, loud and unusual sounds, and like to eat lots of fruit. A few examples of the types of animals that are found in the rainforest are: sloth, poison-arrow frog, rhinoceros beetle, boa constrictor, jaguar, spider monkey and macaw. Many types of animals are endangered in the tropical rainforest. There is a large number of species that live in the rainforest.

The tropical rainforest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. The tropical rain forest's climate is warm and very wet. The temperature in a rainforest rarely gets higher than 93 °F (34 °C) or drops below 68 °F (20 °C); average humidity is between 77 and 88%; rainfall is often more than 100 inches a year.The climate helps the plants survive well. Tropical rainforests produce 40% of Earth's oxygen. An average of 50 to 260 inches (125 to 660 cm.) of rain falls yearly.
