Rainforests

A rainforest or rain forest is a dense forest that is composed of very tall trees with broad leaves. Most rainforests are found around the equator, such as the one along the Amazon river. These are considered to be warm climate or tropical rainforests. There are also moderate climate rainforests, such as the one located in Oregon. One main weather condition that creates a rainforest is having a lot of annual rainfall in a region.
