No, The Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve on the North-Western slopes of the Andean mountain range in Quito, Ecuador, is considered:
pre-montane/subtropical rainforest,
the differentiation lies in its geography; Tropical rainforests are warm and moist; while temperate rainforests are cool.
Only a small percentage of the tropical forests are rainforests.
To be a tropical rainforest, forested areas must: Lie between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. and Ecuador, lies pretty much, smack dab in the middle
hope this answers your question
Tropical rainforest, Cloud Forest, Tropical deciduous forest, Polylepis forest.
well if your mum is standing there with her legs open it would be a forest.
I never heard of a tropical cloud forest...rain forest yes,... the types of trees...ummm
Mangroves, Lowland Tropical Coniferous Forest / Tropical Savannah, Tropical Moist Broadleaf (Rain) Forest, Tropical Dry Broadleaf Forest, and Cloud Forest.
You can Smell the cloud forest in tropical parts of the Island.
The vegetation varies:- Tropical Rain forest Cloud Forrest Savanna grasslands are all types of vegetation cover in tropical climates.
The second biome that gets the most rain after rainforests is the tropical monsoon biome. These biomes experience heavy rainfall due to seasonal monsoons, typically receiving around 60-80 inches of rain annually. Other biomes with high levels of rainfall include cloud forests and temperate rainforests.
Tropical rainforest, temperate rainforest, and cloud forest biomes typically receive at least 50 inches of rain per year. These biomes are characterized by high levels of precipitation, which support diverse and lush plant and animal life.
Tropical mountain forests are sometimes known as 'Cloud rainforests'. They are found in cooler-climate mountain areas. Depending on latitude, the lower limit of cloud rainforests on large mountains is generally between 1500 and 2500 m while the upper limit is usually from 2400 to 3300 m. Cloud forests often exhibit an abundance of mosses covering the ground and vegetation,
They form when water vapor undergoes deposition at altitudes of 5,000 m (16,500) in temperate regions and 6,100 m (20,000 ft) in tropical regions
Tropical zones are hotter than temperate zones primarily due to their proximity to the equator, where the sun's rays strike more directly throughout the year. This results in less variation in temperature and consistently higher average temperatures. In contrast, temperate zones experience greater seasonal changes, with varying angles of sunlight and longer periods of cooler weather. Additionally, the tropical regions have less atmospheric interference, such as cloud cover, allowing for more direct solar heating.
