How Vegetation In The Tropical Rainforests Adapts To The Climate Conditions. In the tropical rainforest the climate is very humid due to the vast amount of rainfall‚ which can be up to 2‚000 mm per year. They high temperatures vary little‚ but the average is around 27°C. This climate makes it very good conditions for plants to grow in. However‚ many plants have had to adapt to survive in the harsh conditions of the tropical rainforest.

winds are often affected by global patterns of movement in the Earth’s atmosphere. In general‚ easterly flow exists at low and high latitudes globally. In the mid-latitudes‚ westerly winds are the rule and their strength is at the mercy of the polar cyclone. In areas where winds tend to be light‚ the sea breeze/land breeze cycle is the most important to the prevailing wind; in areas which have variable terrain‚ mountain and valley breezes dominate the wind pattern. Highly elevated surfaces can induce

Tropical rainforests are currently a habitat that is currently experiencing serious losses. Some major reasons why the rainforest are having serious losses are because of agricultural expansion‚ urbanization‚ and the extraction of wood. Currently‚ the biggest cause is agricultural expansion which turned the forest into pastures and cropland to meet the growing needs for food. A study shows that more than 80 percent of the new farmland created in the tropics between 1980 and 2000 came from forests
