An essay by RAQUEL SOARES, 8ºG

Tropical forest


The tropical forest occurs in three regions on Earth:

in America, in Africa and indo-Malaya.


This bio-system is composed of a great amount of vegetal species and animals, the annual average temperature is always around 20°C, and the annual rainfall is approximately of 1200mm.

Its average localization is in the band between the tropics, therefore, the denomination of tropical forest.


One of the main characteristics of the tropical forest is vegetal and animal biodiversity.

Around 60% of all the species of the planet are found in this ecosystem.
An example of a tropical forest is the Amazon forest.
