The largest tropical rain forest in the world ()

The largest tropical rain forest in the world is the Amazon rain forest.

Amazon Rainforest is located in the Amazon River in South America, with the widest drainage area and the largest flow in the world. It is rich in water all year round, nourishes 8 million square kilometers of vast land, breeds the largest tropical rain forest in the world, and is recognized as the most mysterious "kingdom of life" in the world.

Amazon rainforest occupies half of the world's rainforest area, accounting for 20% of the world's forest area. The Amazon rainforest is called "the lungs of the earth" and "the green heart". Amazon rainforest contains the richest and most diverse biological resources in the world, with millions of species of insects, plants, birds and other creatures, many of which have not been recorded in science so far. Among the lush plants, there are various tree species, including hickory, laurel, palm, acacia, rosewood, Brazil nut and rubber tree.

Climate of Amazon rainforest:

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 in the west, which are chair-shaped, low in the east and high in the west. They are open-minded, and have accepted the warm and humid airflow in the Amazon rainforest brought by the northeast and southeast trade winds and the north and south equatorial warm currents. It has modern climatic conditions that are particularly conducive to this type of development.
