AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Tropical Rainforest receives more rain than any other biome making it the wettest biome. There are two types of rainforests, the lowland forests and the cloud forests. Over half of the world’s plant and animal species are found in the Tropical Rainforest. The Tropical Rainforest is also the most threatened biome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Such humid air produces extreme and frequent rainfall, ranging between 200-1000 centimeters (80-400 inches) per year. Tropical rainforests are so warm and moist that they produce as much as 75% of their own rain through evaporation and transpiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -The tropical rainforest biome has four main characteristics: very high annual rainfall, high average temperatures, nutrient-poor soil, and high levels of biodiversity (species richness). Rainfall: The word “rainforest” implies that these are the some of the world’s wettest ecosystems.
