Tropical Rain forests are beautiful. They are located throughout the world on different locations on the surface of the Earth. Too bad only 6% of Earth is a Tropical Rainforest. The most amazing and beautiful Tropical Rainforest in my opinion is the Amazon Rainforest is in Manaus, Brazil. I have been there and I can tell you in fact that Tropical Rain forests have such bipolar weathers and climate. To start off the humidity is unbearable and Tropical Rain forests only get up to about 250 cm of rainfall per year. This climate is usually found near the equator. This means more sunlight directly hits the land and the seas than anywhere else in the world. By the sun landing on the water, the water is evaporated into the air. The air can hold a lot of water vapour, but as warm meets cold condensation occurs and form water tablets, small drizzling and even clouds starts to form. When clouds form rain occurs. The average degree of a rainforest is 77o fahrenheit.

Tropical Rain forests are known for their billions of different types of plants only located at these specific biomes. Believe it or not there are new plants being found every day in this biome. The main reason there are so many plants is because the rainforest is very old, some over 100 million years old, which fun fact, dinosaurs could have even lived in them and many of them probably did. It all started 10,000 years ago when when the ice caps at the poles spread out in an ice age but the ice did not reach the equator so Tropical Rainforest was saved and it survived. Other places on earth had to start from the beginning of evolving animal and plant adaptation while the Tropical Rainforest was incredibly lucky and continued evolving from where they left off. The main reason plants can survive in this biome is because Tropical Rain forests created special features. The plants get very used to this weather and can store a lot of water in them and have a function called drip leaves so when extra water isn't needed they hit the leaves the plant absorbs what is for storage and the rest of the water is gone off the leaf. This is the main function of how they survive.

Believe it or not Tropical Rain forests are considered almost perfect for animals to survive. It is always warm there which is a plus to some animals ,usually the ones found in this biome. Another amazing thing for the animals is there is no season change ever and not to mention never shortages of food. To add on there is always shelter from the heat and water from the rain. The animals never run out of water. This is very simple and helps them survive. One huge problem with the animals is the predators. Darker animals are more likely to hide in this tragedy. Many animals will gang up on other animals ands fight and they would keep the intestines of the dead for food. It gets very chaotic in there but not to mention ancient tribes living in the Tropical Rain forests. It is a situation between life and death for most people but don't worry if you are a tourist you are safe. The tribes have existed for hundreds of years and there are even ancient temples and ruins found nowadays that date from long ago. Most tribes have adapted to now a day lifestyle and live in their so called "luxury". A few tribes live in the olden day era but those places are closed off to let them live in peace.

All in all Rain forests are beautiful and a great place for a get away vacation! The history fascinates you and if that is not good enough the food and culture will convince you to move there in a heartbeat. Trust me that was how I felt.
