Please follow the links in the box below for more detailed information on each of the important rainforest topics. What defines a rainforest? The simple answer is that rainforests are defined by the amount and frequency of rain. To be a rainforest there must be at least 1750-2000 mm of rain a year and the rain must not be distributed extremely unevenly throughout the year. For example, certain tropical savannas receive rain only a few months a year in monsoon-like downpours. A more accurate description: The term rainforest is imprecise. Where are they found: Rainforests are found between the tropic of caner and tropic of Capercorn.
