Question

Around which latitude(s) would you expect to find rainforests, and why? ( you may enter up to 150 characters. )

Answer 1

You could find rain forests in the location from 23 north to 23 south latitude; This is because hadley cells (low-latitude overturning cycles that have air) begin to rise at equator and cools; this in turn causes them to hold less water vapor, and thus condenses to making rain.

Answer 2

Rainforests are one of the oldest ecosystems in the world today and are characterized by forests that grow in areas with tropical climates and abundant rain.

Hence, rainforests best grow between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5N) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5S).

Around the world, we can see rainforest lying on these latitudes including in Brazil and South East Asia.
