Detailed explanation-1: -A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Precipitation. Rainforests receive the most rain of all of the biomes in a year! A typical year sees 2, 000 to 10, 000 millimeters (79 to 394 inches) of rain per year.
Detailed explanation-3: -The tropical rainforest biome gets the highest precipitation or rainfall annually. Most regions get at least 200 cm to about 430 cm rain annually. Deserts and tundra get the least amount of precipitation. Taiga gets a higher amount of precipitation, of about 30-75 cm.
Detailed explanation-4: -The temperature and sunlight profiles of tropical rainforests are stable in comparison to other terrestrial biomes, with average temperatures ranging from 20oC to 34oC (68oF to 93oF). Month-to-month temperatures are relatively constant in tropical rainforests, in contrast to forests farther from the equator.
Detailed explanation-5: -Tropical forests have the highest biodiversity and primary productivity of any of the terrestrial biomes.
