Detailed explanation-1: -Tropical evergreen forests are found in places with high temperatures and heavy rainfall. They receive more than 200 cm rainfall per year. Tropical deciduous forests are the most widespread forests in India and are found in regions that receive between 70cm to 200cm of rainfall every year.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tropical rainforest is continuously warmer with rainfall throughout the year. On the other hand, tropical deciduous forests have distinct dry and wet periods. Precipitation affects every aspect of these forests. Due to heavy rainfall throughout the year, tropical rainforests remain green all year round.
