Tropical rainforests are forests with tall tress, warm climate, and lots of rain. Tropical rainforests are found in Africa, Asia, Australia, and Central and South America. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon rainforest. They are found in tropics, the region between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer. Each rainforest is unique but there are certatin features common to all tropical rainforests.

Temperate rainforests occur in small pockets. A temperate rainforest will have over 1400 mm of rain per year. There is a large temperate rainforest in Washington state.
