Climate
the climate of a tropical rainforest is very warm and wet with no dry season. Due to its position near the equator this biome receives more direct sunlight. On average the temperature ranges between 20-34C, coming from the extra solar radiation it receives resulting in the high average temperature. At the same time the sun would also warm the land and sea within the area causing the water to evaporate into the air. Once the warm air holding the water vapour is mixed with the cold air above the process reaches condensation. Droplets and clouds are lastly formed, this cycle repeats hence the heavy and constant rain.
Temperature
- The average temperature of a tropical rainforest ranges from 20-34C and stays within the range all year round.
Rainfall
The tropical rainforest may receive up to 250 mm of rainfall per year or around 125mm to 660mm per year. Some rainforest can receive up to 3 cm of rain per day. It rains more than 90 days years a year while also having a brief season of less rain.
Sunlight
the tropical rainforest is located near the equator so there is more direct sunlight. It is exposed to at least 12 hours of sunlight daily.
Moisture
The high average rainfall and temperature results in a warm and abundant humidity.
Despite the plant life growing in the Tropical Rainforest the soil is infertile and acidic. Most of the nutrients were washed away by the abundant rainfall and leached out by the rapid growing plants growing on it.
