Only a small percentage of the tropical forests are rainforests. To be a tropical rainforest, forested areas must: • Lie between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. • Receive rainfall regularly throughout the year (80-400 inches per year). • Remain warm and frost free all year long (mean temperatures are between 70° and 85°F) with very little daily fluctuation.
