A tropical rain forest receives approx. 150cm-650cm of rainfall per year. These are not to be confused with temperature rain forests which are dominated by deciduous trees and receive more than 250cm of rain per year.

Why do rainforest plants need a dry adaptation?
Plants in certain rain forests require certain adaptation due to the amount of rainfall received and the seasonality of the rainfall. For example rainforests in sub-tropical region receive seasonal rainfall, this means that when it rains (in the wet season) it pours, but there is also a "dry" season where it still rains, but much less. For this reason the plants have to be adapted to be able to survive in both conditions. Equatorial rainforests receive pretty much constant rainfall throughout the year, so the plants are adapted for this
Characteristic of tropical rainforest?
The primary characteristic of a rainforest, is that it has a wide variety of plant life. There are temperate rainforests as well, but they follow the above description.So to our tropical rainforest is that it is in the tropics, and will be much warmer, and may or may not have lots of rain.Tropical rainforests will commonly have several layers of canopy - a climax canopy of the tall trees, a forest floor vegetation of ferns and shrubs and mosses, and an intermediate canopy of medium tall shrubs, trees, and vines.The humidity in a tropical rainforest will be high, and much of the rainfall is being continuously evaporated.One serious problem we have, is that when a tropical rainforest is cleared, the land reverts to a much drier plainland with much less forest. This is observed in the Amazon. Much of the humidity of the rainforest interior is self-generated, and not from direct rainfall.
What Is the difference of the climate between grasslands and rainforest?
The tropical rain-forest needs constant humidity and rain to survive and grasslands need periodic rainfall and sunshine to keep surviving. and the difference is the climate they are in.
Why aren't prairies located in the Southeast or Southwest US?
The southwest U.S. receives too little rainfall to support grasslands while the southeast U.S. receives too much rainfall and supports deciduous forest rather than grasses.
How is precipitation used to classify tropical rainy climates?
Precipitation is the measure of how much water vapor will precipitate into liquid. This in combination with humidity can effectively measure the amount of rain, dew, and other water related weather and therefore determine in a climate should be classified as tropical.
Why are there fewer trees in tropical grasslands than in tropical rain forest?
