Where is the climate distribution of tropical rain forest?

The tropical rain forest climate is distributed near the equator. Specifically. It is mainly distributed in the Amazon River basin in South America, the Congo River basin in eastern Central America, the northern shore of the Gulf of Guinea in Africa, the eastern part of Madagascar, the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, the Malay Archipelago, the southern part of the Philippine Islands, Irian Island in Indonesia, Sumatra Island in Oceania to New Guinea and the northeastern part of Australia.

Mainly distributed between latitudes 10 on both sides of the equator. It is hot and rainy all year round, with an average monthly temperature of 25-28℃ and an annual precipitation of over 2000 mm, with even seasonal distribution and no dry season.

Climatic reasons:

Tropical rain forest is affected by many factors, and its dominant factors are still different. The general trend is mainly influenced by solar radiation in the range of north-south latitude 10 degrees in the equatorial region. The equatorial low pressure belt and trade winds gather and converge near the equator, and the water vapor contained in them is easy to form clouds and cause rainfall.

Climate change is monotonous, and it is summer all year round. It is usually sunny in the morning, hot before noon, rainy in the afternoon, and a little cold in the yellow rain. However, in the same type of regions in the world, the tropical evergreen rainforest in the Amazon Plain is not only the widest in area, but also the most fully developed and typical, because the geographical position of the Amazon Plain is crossed by the equator.

Topographically, there are Guiana Plateau in the north, Brazil Plateau in the south and Andes Mountains in the west, which are chair-shaped, low in the east and high in the west, and accept the abundant warm and humid airflow of Amazon rainforest brought by northeast and southeast trade winds and warm currents in the north and south equator with open arms. It has modern gas conditions that are particularly conducive to the development of this type.

It runs through South America from west to east, with a drainage area of 6 million square kilometers and covered with dense jungle. The mainstream of the Amazon River sometimes overflows, flooding thousands of square kilometers of forest land. It is the river with the largest runoff in the world and its comprehensive characteristics are very obvious.

Remarkable features: high temperature, rainy weather and small temperature difference throughout the year.

The average monthly temperature varies between 24-28℃ in a year, and the annual temperature difference generally does not exceed 5℃, especially in the ocean, which usually does not exceed 65438 0℃. The daily variation of temperature is greater than the annual variation, and the daily amplitude can reach 10- 15℃. However, the daily maximum temperature rarely exceeds 35℃, and the daily minimum temperature rarely falls below 20℃. The humidity is high all year round. As far as the lower reaches of the Amazon River are concerned, the annual average relative humidity exceeds 90%. There is abundant precipitation, mostly accompanied by thunderstorms. The annual precipitation reaches 1500-3000mm, and the maximum is over 6000mm in mountainous areas. For example, the annual precipitation in Debenga at the foot of Cameroon volcano in Africa reaches 9470 mm.
