what is the average amount of rainfall in a tropical rainforest
Tropical rainforest Tropical rainforests can be characterized in two words: hot and wet. Mean monthly temperatures exceed 18 °C (64 °F) during all months of the year.[4] Average annual rainfall is no less than 1,680 mm (66 in) and can exceed 10 m (390 in) although it typically lies between 1,750 mm (69 in) and 3,000 mm (120 in).[5] This high level of precipitation often results in poor soils due to leaching of soluble nutrients in the ground.
El Yunque National Forest El Yunque National Forest, formerly known as the Caribbean National Forest,[3][4] is a forest located in northeastern Puerto Rico. It is the only tropical rain forest in the United States National Forest System.[5]
