A rainforest is not defined exclusively by the amount of rain it gets. There are other factors (average temperature, layers of overgrowth) that are characteristic of rainforests, either tropical or temperate. However, the general range for the classification is more than about 1750 to 2000 mm (68-78 inches) of annual rainfall.
Rainforest destruction pretty much says it all, doesn't it?
deserts, rainforest and much more
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
yes the are and much more such as cocanut tress and more
there are so much abiotic elements in the tropical rainforest i will list all of them 1soil 2temperature 3is sunlight i will not saw all of them because that is to much my name is amanda springfield
For an area to be considered a rainforest, it must receive over 80 inches of rain.
novanet= lower canopy
No, the rainforest receives much too much rain to be considered a desert.
29 times a year
That depends on the amount of area and the average rooting depth in the rainforest. Multiply the area by the average rooting depth, and you'll have your answer in terms of volume.
it must recaives 80 inches of rain or more
The desert receives one 20th or less of the amount of water that a rainforest receives. This is because deserts get very little rain.
Wet seasons vary on each island. Some islands, such as St. Croix (US Virgin Islands) have a very arid area of the island and a rainforest that receives much more rain. Certain areas of each island may get much different rainfall.
A forest can be called a rainforest when there is a minimum typical annual rainfall of 1750–2000 mm. This is 68-78 inches.
It rains so much in the rainforest
One fourth of the land is rainforest.
A tropical rainforest is typically much smaller relative to the amount of area that a grassy plain or temperate forest would occupy. One notable exception is the massive Amazon, but it has been significantly deforested.
