 * Introduction: **The Tropical Rainforest is a source of shelter and freedom for animals. However the rainforests receives 2,500 mm of rain per year. There are warm, a good amount of rain, and consistent rainfall. The weather could vary depending on where you were located within the rainforest.


 * Definition: **The Tropical Rainforest is a biome that is found ten degrees under the equator. They are mostly common in Asia, Australia, Africa, South America, Central America, Mexico, and many of the Pacific Islands.

 * Biotic Factors (animals, plants, algae, etc. living things): **The Rainforest includes a rich a diversity of animals and plants that only the Coral Reef can match. Since the Rainforest is rich in area and soil there are many living things that rely and produce on things that are within the Tropical Rainforest. Some examples are the Africa Forest Elephant, Bengal Tigers, Chimpanzees, Golden Lion Tamarin, Harpy Eagles, and Orangutans. Some plants are Bengal Bamboos, Curare, Coconut Tree, Durian, and Kapok Tree.




 * Abiotic Factors (rain, wind, temperature, location, soil quality, seasons): **The climate in the Rain Forest is humid because of all the average rainfall per year. The climate is also found near the equator. Some of the soil in the Rain Forest is known as poor because all the nutrients are locked up into all the tissues of growing plants. Rain Forests with poor soils often have a high amount of clay soils. If theses rainforests are cut down, the heat from the sun and pressure of tractors driving over them will compress the soil into a hard-brick like substratum that all but eliminates its reforestation potential.




 * Additional Info. (any famous landmarks, famous types of your biome ex- Sahara Desert, anything well-known in biome, how is biodiversity, etc. make it interesting!!): ** An area the size of a football field is being cut down in the rainforest every second. There also medicines that are made from the rainforest. Some medicines are Extrapolation, Testimonials, and Phytomedicinal Prospecting.
