Explanation:
Tropical rain forests are located in the equatorial regions where the annual rainfall exceeds 140 cm. They are also called jungles and cover one twelveth of earth's surface but contain more than half of the earth's flora and fauna (i.e., rich in biodiversity). Now-a-days these forests are disappearing due to excessive cutting of forests for domestic purposes like fuel, furnitures, accomodations, cloths, resin, gum, etc.
