The tropical rainforest biome is primarily located between the latitudes of 10°N and 10°S of the equator. This region is often referred to as the tropics.
These latitudes experience consistent temperatures and high rainfall throughout the year, creating the ideal conditions for the lush, dense vegetation that characterizes tropical rainforests. The proximity to the equator ensures that these areas receive ample sunlight, which is crucial for the growth of the diverse plant species found in this biome.
Some of the most well-known tropical rainforests are found in the Amazon Basin in South America, the Congo Basin in Africa, and the rainforests of Southeast Asia. These regions are home to an incredible variety of flora and fauna, making them some of the most biodiverse areas on the planet.
