Tropical rain forests grow in warm places near Earth's equator. The equator is an imaginary line that goes arround the middle of the planet. There are topical rain forests in Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. The world's largest rain forests is the Amazon rain forest in South America. It is always hot and wet in a tropical rain forest.
Rain forests are divided into different layers. The ground in a rain forest is called the forest floor. Some plants living there get their food from dead plants. Other plants on the ground eat insects.
The plant layer just above the forest floor is called the understorey. Not much sunlight gets down to this layer. Young trees and plants that like low levels of light grow in the shady understorey.
The next layer is the canopy. Medium-size trees grow in the canopy. Most of the rainforest animals live in the canopy. Monkey swing from branch in the rain forests Central and South America.
The top layer of the rain forest is called the emergent layer. The tops of tall trees make up the emergent layer. They capture most of the sun and rainwater falling on the forest. The emergent layer is thick and green.
