Detailed explanation-1: -Tropical rainforests are mainly located between the latitudes of 23.5°N (the Tropic of Cancer) and 23.5°S (the Tropic of Capricorn)-the tropics. Tropical rainforests are found in Central and South America, western and central Africa, western India, Southeast Asia, the island of New Guinea, and Australia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical rainforests are found closer to the equator where it is warm. Temperate rainforests are found near the cooler coastal areas further north or south of the equator. The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome where it rains all year long.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because of the amount of rainfall and sunshine received near the equator, tropical rainforests can be found there. The majority of tropical rainforests are found between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.

Detailed explanation-4: -The bulk of the world’s tropical rainforest occurs in the Amazon Basin in South America. The Congo Basin and Southeast Asia, respectively, have the second and third largest areas of tropical rainforest.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tropical forests are those which are found in and around the equator. One definitive feature of these forests is their hot climates. The tropical forests are of two types-Evergreen and Deciduous.
