Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of rainforests, tropical and temperate. 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-2: -The Amazon rainforest is the world’s largest tropical rainforest.

Detailed explanation-3: -Covering around 6-8% of terrestrial earth, we find tropical rainforests: in the southern region of Central America, Southeastern Mexico, Equatorial South America (and some of the east coast of Brazil), Equatorial Africa, Madagascar, Western India, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia and the Pacific Islands.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tropical equatorial rainforests (TER) are located in a band 5-10 degree north & south of the equator (Zero degrees latitude), mostly in the area between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S latitude). This 3, 000 mile (4800 km) wide band is called the “tropics."
