Best Answer

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.
