2. Location and Climate Tropical rainforests are all around the equator. The tropical rainforests climate is very warm it has an average annual temperature or day length, which is very favorable for plant growth. The tropical rainforest’s temperature range is from 20-25 degrees Celsius and they have more than 250 centimeters of annual rainfall. enchantedlearning.com

3. Human impact Humans play a large role in the destruction of the rainforest. Activities such as farming, logging and mining involve removing the natural vegetation. Humans play a large role in the destruction of the rainforest. Activities such as farming, logging and mining involve removing the natural vegetation. Because there is less vegetation the soil is open to the heavy rain. The roots are also removed in logging and mining which mean the soil becomes loose. As a result heavy rainfall washes the soil away, therefore destroying the rainforest. Because there is less vegetation the soil is open to the heavy rain.

13. Abiotic Factors Trees in the rainforests grow to a height of 60-100 meters but there are trees that grow 100-150 meters and the are not rare.

The rainforests are close to the equator so the rainforests receive plenty of sunlight. The rainforests are close to the equator so the rainforests receive plenty of sunlight. These factors affect the animals and plants because while the trees at the upper canopy have short leaves which helps the amount of water lost of the evaporation and transportation is minimal but the other trees with large leaves give the most of the little sunlight they get.
