Tropical Rainforest Climate
Understand that rainforests have a tropical climate — consistently hot (25–30°C) with over 2000 mm of rainfall per year — and that this combination of heat and moisture creates ideal conditions for rapid plant growth and extraordinary biodiversity

Can your child explain why rainforests grow so well — that it's the combination of being really hot and really rainy all year round that makes everything grow so fast?
