because the rainforest is situated in a tropical climate- Brazil. It is also a forest of trees and vegetation, and is called 'rain' forest because of the huge amounts of rainfall it receives due to its tropical climate. The reason the vegetation is so lush and dense is due to the rainfall that occurs thoughout every afternoon.

One reason is because there is another type of rainforest called a temperate rainforest. Also, because those certain rainforests are in the 3000mile band between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer- an area commonly called the 'tropics'.
