Where are the tropical rainforests?

Tropical rainforests are found in a wide area along the equator: In Central Africa, in Central and South America as well as in Southeast Asia. The sun is always hottest at the Equator causing water to evaporate and form rain clouds. These clouds results in a lot of rainfall, which helps the rainforest to flourish. Huge trees with board-like roots, vines, tigers, apes, and poisonous frogs are found in these rainforests. Unfortunately, the forests and the animals inhabiting them are under threat due to damaging human activities.
