Weather
• A rainforest is a forest that experiences high annual rainfall.
• Rainforests are divided into two subsets: – tropical rainforests – temperant rainforests

Tropical Rainforest
• Tropical rainforests are located in tropical regions
• Average temperature of a tropical rainforest is 77 F
• The rainforest stays about this temperature year round
• Extensive cloud cover and heavy rainfall keep temperatures from getting considerably hotter or colder

Temperate Rainforest
• A temperate rainforest experiences all four seasons and a part of the rainfall count falls in the form of snow.
• Temperate rainforests are found between an ocean and a mountainous region
• Temperatures are mainly cool and wet, though they can get hot in summer. The average annual temperature is 50 F

from the strong sun and wind

Canopy Layer (Trees and Plants)
• The trees form a “green roof” over the forest below
• The canopy is the busiest part of the rainforest
• The canopy protects the ground from the sun and light rain
• Many of the leaves on the plants are pointed , so that the rain runs off the leaves to help keep the leaves dry and free from mold
