GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Tropical rainforests occur in regions of the tropics where temperatures are always high and where rainfall exceeds about 1, 800 to 2, 500 mm (about 70 to 100 inches) annually and occurs fairly evenly throughout the year.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical forests are found at a greater distance from the equator where day length and rainfall vary seasonally, whereas equatorial forests are near the equator where variation is very little and day length is constant. Tropical moist forests are distinguished from equatorial forests by a cooler dry season.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evaporation from the ocean forms clouds that can be moved by wind to rain over land : As we learnt in the Water Cycle chapter, the tropics receive more heat energy from the sun, so the air in this region tends to be warmer than in the rest of the atmosphere . This makes it less dense than colder air .
