welcome to moomoomath insights in this
video I'd like to talk about the
tropical rainforest the tropical
rainforest is famous for trees rain
humidity and hot weather tropical
rainforests are found near the equator
notice the location of tropical
rainforests on this map let's take a
look at what the rainforest
[Music]

[Applause]
the average temperature of a tropical
rainforest falls between 93 degrees and
70 degrees Fahrenheit year-round
tropical rainforests received up to 100
inches of rain
because rainforest received so much rain
it can support lots of trees in fact
there are so many trees in the
rainforest that they can be divided into
four layers at the very bottom is the
forest floor it only receives two
percent of the sunlight plants must be
adapted to grow in low-light the forest
floor also contains decaying plant and
animal matter you also will find lots of
fungi growing here that help decay the
animal and plant waste the next layer is
the understory layer it is found between
the canopy and the forest floor it is
home to a number of birds small mammals
insects reptiles and predators up next
is the canopy layer it is the primary
layer of the tropical rainforest and can
be called the roof of the rainforest it
contains most of the largest trees and
many broad leafed evergreen truth
and finally the emergent layer the
emergent layer are very large trees that
poke out of the canopy these trees
actually grow above the canopy they need
to be able to withstand very hot
temperatures and strong there is a huge
variety of plants and animals found in
the rain forest
and many many insects a couple examples
include telephone fogs big snakes apes
and gorillas this weird bird called the
Kessel Larry and many more I'll leave
links if you need to research this more
in the show notes so in summary the
tropical rainforest is found near the
equator it is hot receives lots of rain
and has the most diversity of plants and
animals of all the biomes thanks for
