What is a tropical rain forest?
A tropical rain forest is a forest occurring
inside the World's equatorial regions in areas
of heavy rainfall. They are restricted between
the latitudes 22.5° N and 22.5° S of the
equator, in other words, between the Tropic
of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer or
1,400 mi. North and South of the Equator.
