Tropical Rain Forest Distribution

Where are tropical rain forest? The Equator Tropic of Cancer Tropic of Capricorn Tropical Rain Forest World distribution of tropical rain forest Amazon Basin Congo BasinSoutheast Asia

Climatic characteristics  Temperature characteristics  Rainfall characteristics  Tropical rainforests are found in equatorial and tropical region  With hot and wet climate throughout the year

Temperature characteristics  High annual mean temperature  Around 26-27C  Small annual range of temperature  Only 1-2C

General temperature characteristics  High temperature throughout the year  Average temperature is 28 C  Small annual range of temperature  Absence of season  Close to equator  More concentrated sunlight

Rainfall characteristics  High total annual rainfall  About 3000 mm  Evenly-distributed around the year

General rainfall characteristics  Heavy rainfall  Total annual rainfall is over 2000 mm  Evenly-distributed throughout the year  No dry season  Convection rain is common  Heavy downpours  With thunderstorms

Convection rain
