Daintree Cairns experiences high rainfall due to its tropical rainforest climate, influenced by the nearby Coral Sea. The region's geographical features, including the surrounding mountains, create conditions that trap moisture-laden air, leading to frequent and intense rainfall. Additionally, the area's proximity to the equator results in warm temperatures that enhance evaporation and precipitation. This combination of factors contributes to Daintree's lush, vibrant ecosystems.
[1] The world's largest rain forest is the Amazon Basin. [2] Most sources identify the second largest as the Congo Basin rain forest. A minority opinion gives the title to the Daintree rain forest of Australia. But the sizes of the Amazon, Congo and Papua New Guinea rain forests run in the millions. And the figures for Daintree are in the thousands. So Daintree's claim to fame may be as Australia's largest rain forest, and as the world's oldest at 135 million years. [3] The third largest is uniformly being identified as Papua New Guinea's Gulf Province rain forest.
The Daintree Rainforest, North Queenslan, is a beautiful and significant place because itis on the world heritage list and there are very few placesinthe world like it.
Yes, Cyclone Yasi- - Cyclone Yasi did not hit Cairns directly, in fact it did not hit anywhere near Cairns, Cairns got off virtually unscathed. Despite Cairns residents jumping on the bandwagon - Cyclone Yasi made landfall at Mission Beach 150k south of Cairns .. see damage in that region - so Yes Cyclone Yasi - is not the correct answer - it is totally incorrect
The daintree rainforset is special because it is on the world heritage list.The Daintree is special because of its size and the environment within. It is home to many exciting, exotic species.
so if you live in Brisbane you can get to cairns quick
no. the dessert is really hot so it doesn't get much rain
There is so much rain in the rain forests, because they are located near the equator. This makes their temperature high enough that it results in maximum evaporation of water, causing heavy rainfall to occur.
Because of precipitation
Cyclones; Which brings in high winds & heavy rain .
So you can see how much rain fell that day when it rained!
There are no unpopular rain forests, because thousands of bugs and insects live in every rain forest, but people are cutting down rain forests, so bugs and animals either have to stay and die, or leave and live somewhere else.
Not much it is a rain forest. But enough for plants to survive and to see. So when your in the woods it is about the same.
