Here are a few: 1. High input of solar energy near the equator. This keeps evaporation rates high over the oceans that are at the same latitudes as the rainforests, which means the air is more water-saturated as it passes over the land. read more

Rapid climate change could affect the rainforest by increasing the temperature and driving animals to regions farther away from the equator with cooler temperatures but greater seasonal swings they must adapt to, while organisms that remain in the rainforests either adapt to the higher temperatures or die out. read more
