Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome where it rains all year long. It is known for its dense canopies of vegetation that form three different layers. The top layer or canopy contains giant trees that grow to heights of 75 m (about 250 ft) or more.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical rainforests are lush and warm all year long! Temperatures don’t even change much between night and day. The average temperature in tropical rainforests ranges from 70 to 85°F (21 to 30°C). The environment is pretty wet in tropical rainforests, maintaining a high humidity of 77% to 88% year-round.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical rain forests are warm areas that receive a great deal of rainfall. Average temperatures range from 70-90 degrees F. Rainfall ranges from 60-200 inches per year. Relative humidity is typically 70% in the daytime and 95% at night.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tropical wet forests are characterized by high precipitation and humidity, while savannas have scattered trees and an extensive dry season.
