The rain forest is about the same temperature year round. The temperature never drops below 64° Fahrenheit. This climate is found near the equator. That means that there is more direct sunlight hitting the land and sea there than anywhere else.Rain forests are so hot because of this fact. Rain forest are never found in climates which have temperatures 32° Fahrenheit and below because the plant life will not be able to live because they aren't adapted to frost. All the plants will die out if the rain forest is cooler.]]> 2016-11-15 12:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/carolinesobolowski/nwp1e449q6iz/wish/137682744 PLANTS typically found in a Tropical Rainforest: carolinesobolowski https://padlet.com/carolinesobolowski/nwp1e449q6iz/wish/137683958
