Tropical rainforests contain more/higher biodiversity than deserts since their conditions are a lot more ideal for the growth of organisms.
There are several different types of rainforests, each with different climates. They include the monsoon, equatorial (tropical), and subtropical rainforests. The climate of a tropical rainforest is typically very wet, with annual rainfall averaging between 1500 and 2500mm. Relative humidity is constantly high. Daytime temperatures are around 30ºC - 35ºC, and night-time temperatures around 20ºC - 25ºC, with little difference between the seasons.
Rainforest plants tend not to minimize losing moisture by transpiration. They do not need to as there is plenty of rain every day.
Tofino is considered to be in a temperate rainforest zone. This is different from a tropical rainforest because of different species of plants and animals and differing geographical and climatical conditions. Temperate rainforests are classified as rainforests because they receive high amounts of rainfall each year and are comprised of a tall canopy of trees that covers 70% of the sky.
Clouds do not precipitate in deserts due to low pressure. Clouds do not precipitate in deserts due to low pressure.
Cumulus clouds are puffy. If the humidity is high, a cumulus cloud's low point may be about 3,00 feet (900 m). However, cumulus clouds in dry regions such as deserts sometimes have bases as high as 10,000 feet (3,000m). This is still low compared to some clouds.
Thunderstorms are common in tropical rainforests, and the intensity of the lightning storms there can be very high.
There are two types of rainforests, Tropical rainforests and Temperate rainforests. Thus rainforests may be found in many places on Earth and the conditions in them is determined by the climatic zone in which they occur (hot in the tropics, cool in the temperate zones/elevations). The one thing they have in common is high (daily) rain and high humidity!
No. There are tropical rainforests that are located in the tropics and there are rainforests elsewhere. I lived on Kodiak Island, Alaska and it has rainforests. The amount of rainfall that Kodiak has in some areas is great. This high amount of rain coupled with very long sunlight during the summer makes for a very lush forest. Rainforets are imporatant because it provides a home for endangered or rare animals.
Mountain gorillas live in the mountainous, tropical rainforests of Rwanda, a country in central Africa. Because of the high elevation, it is misty and not as hot as most tropical rainforests. Such forests are also called cloud forests.
Rainforests are dense, tropical forests with high rainfall and diverse plant and animal species, while savannas are grassy plains with scattered trees and distinct wet and dry seasons. Rainforests typically have a closed canopy, while savannas have a more open canopy that allows sunlight to reach the ground. Additionally, rainforests tend to be more humid and biodiverse compared to savannas.
It can be as little as 300 - 600 millimeters (12-24 inches) up to 1,000 millimeters (40 inches) of rainfall in an average year. It really depends on the region, as Mexico has an extensive variety of climates; from dry deserts on the north to humid tropical rainforests to the south.
The sahara desert is very hot so not a lot of animals live there whereas, in a rain forest it rains a lot so lots of animals live there. So the answer is that a rain forest has a high biodiversity.
tropical rain forests are on the equator with high temperatures but in England we are n't on the equator and we don't really experience scorching temptures
In the tropical rain forest in Brazil , North America.
Hundreds of species!The Philippines is a tropical country with a 'Tropical rainforest climate'.The high temperatures and the continuously high humidity the whole year through, make that there are more than 3500 species of plants and animals!Influence of the tropical climatePlants and animals are adjusted to the tropical climate and specific qualities of the tropical environment.Especially the tropical coral waters and the original tropical rainforests are the places, where hundreds ofbeautiful coloured and sometimes rare animals live.
Spider monkeys have several species that are in the tropical rainforests of Mexico, Central America, or northern South America, including the Amazon in Brazil. Black-handed spider monkeys live from Veracruz, MX to western Panama. They usually live in high tree canopies in dense rainforests to keep away from predators.
How do tropical climates differ from eachother?
