The tropical rain forest is well known for having large varieties of dense vegetation and many exotic animals. This biome has four layers of dense canopies: the emergent layer, the canopy layer, the under story and the forest floor. The forest floor does not receive a lot of sunlight, but they have found a way how to adapt to the environment.]]> 2019-09-16 14:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michellenguyen3/70tbpb2b7iob/wish/384677140 michellenguyen3 https://padlet.com/michellenguyen3/70tbpb2b7iob/wish/384683432 The tropical rain forest is found within 10-15 degrees latitude. The temperature is 20 degrees to 25 degrees Celsius. It is quite warm in the tropical rain. The average humidity in the tropical rain forest is between 77% and 88%. Usually, there is a brief season where there is less rain. There's a dry season in monsoonal areas. ]]> 2019-09-16 14:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/michellenguyen3/70tbpb2b7iob/wish/384683432 michellenguyen3 https://padlet.com/michellenguyen3/70tbpb2b7iob/wish/384687957 The tropical rain forest is found between the Tropic of Cancer, 23.5 degrees north, and between the Tropic of Capricorn, 23.5 degrees south.

The tropical rain forest is well known for their mountains, lakes, and rivers. In insolation, there is only a little of seasonal variation. The sun determines the climate conditions in the tropical rain rain forests. Insolation is one of the geat factors in this biome. When the sun is up, this enables plants to get high rates of photosynthesis ]]> 2019-09-16 14:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/michellenguyen3/70tbpb2b7iob/wish/384702557 michellenguyen3 https://padlet.com/michellenguyen3/70tbpb2b7iob/wish/384703645 Spider monkey, three toed sloth, ocelot, green anaconda, jaguar, toucan]]> 2019-09-16 14:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/michellenguyen3/70tbpb2b7iob/wish/384703645 michellenguyen3 https://padlet.com/michellenguyen3/70tbpb2b7iob/wish/384704714 Lianas (vines), orchids, bromliads (epiphytes), acai palm]]> 2019-09-16 14:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/michellenguyen3/70tbpb2b7iob/wish/384704714 michellenguyen3 https://padlet.com/michellenguyen3/70tbpb2b7iob/wish/384708068 The orchid has adapted in the tropical rain forest by having large roots to absorb both water and nutrients.
