  • Rainforest Locations: Latitude Ranges and Climate Conditions
    Rainforests are typically found in the tropics, which are the regions of Earth that lie between the Tropic of Cancer (approximately 23.5 degrees North latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (approximately 23.5 degrees South latitude).

    More specifically, rainforests thrive in areas with:

    * High rainfall: At least 80 inches (200 cm) of rainfall per year, and often much more.

    * High humidity: Rainforests are constantly damp due to the high rainfall.

    * Consistent temperatures: Average temperatures between 68-93 degrees Fahrenheit (20-34 degrees Celsius).

    Therefore, you would most likely find rainforests between approximately 23.5 degrees North and 23.5 degrees South latitude.
