Best Answer

Rainforests are wet because the air pressure at the equator is low. Air is sucked in from the oceans which contains moisture. Low air pressure also means that air rises upwards. As the strong overhead sun evaporates moisture from the forest, the damp air rises, cools and condenses, producing thunderclouds and rainfall on a daily basis. This process is known as convectional rainfall.

Why do tropical rainforests grow where they grow?

Most of the rainforests in the world are along the equator. This is because it is so hot there, and all the water gets evaporated and condenses in that area, creating precipitation, and lots of it! This equals to the ground becoming very wet and the air hot. This type of climate is the perfect type for foliage which is why the rainforests are there, the rain is always constant, and the rainforest floor is forever marsh, wet, or flooded.


Is it dry or wet next to the equator?

the equator is where the rainforests are located..... so wet.... the heat causes moisture in the air, land and sea to rise and forms clouds, when the clouds precipitate there is a lot of moisture in them so (naturally) there is more rain.

Do Devil live in the rainforest?

The Tasmanian devil can certainly live in rainforests which, in Tasmania, are cool temperate rainforests, not tropical rainforests. It is not restricted to rainforests, however, as it is equally found in wet and dry sclerophyll forests (bushland) as well. Either way, it inhabits the undergrowth of the bush.
