Characteristics and causes of tropical rain forest climate

Tropical rain forest climate is also called "equatorial rainy climate". Distributed between 5 ~ 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 more than 2000 mm.

The tropical rain forest climate is characterized by 1, with even seasonal distribution and no dry season.

2. It mainly appears in Amazon Plain in South America, Congo Basin and Gulf of Guinea in Africa, most parts of Malay Archipelago in Asia and southern Malay Peninsula.

3. They are mainly distributed in the Amazon River Basin in South America, the Congo River Basin in Africa, the Gulf of Guinea, the southwest coast of the Indian Peninsula in Asia, the Malay Peninsula, the west coast of Indochina Peninsula, the Philippine Islands and Irian Island, and Oceania from Sumatra Island to New Guinea.

The climate of tropical rain forest is mainly caused by latitude factors;

1. solar radiation: solar radiation is within the range of100-180 kcal/cm * year. It's hot all year round. Areas with stronger solar radiation will become deserts.

2. Atmospheric circulation: located in the equatorial low-pressure area, the trade winds gather and converge and rise near the equator, and the water vapor contained in it is easy to form clouds and cause rainfall.

3. Land and sea influence. Tropical rainforests are located at the seaside or in large river basins, which makes them abundant in rainfall and small in temperature difference. Low terrain, suitable for rainforest growth.

4. Vegetation has a great influence on the transpiration of trees, which makes the environment more humid.

Characteristics of tropical rain forest 1. Tropical rain forest is the kingdom of trees, with extremely rich species.

2. In this environment with suitable hydrothermal conditions, the competition for light and living space is extremely strong.

3. The exuberance of lianas and epiphytes is a special adaptive way to compete for space, which has great influence on forest structure.

There are many kinds of animals here.

Trees have many roots, many aerial roots or vines, obvious systematic stratification, tall trees and rich plant varieties; Due to long-term warm weather and high rainfall, plants can continue to grow, resulting in dense growth of trees and green growth.
