Most rain forest are near which important line of latitude?
Most rain forests are found near the equator, between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 degrees south). This region is known as the tropics and has the ideal climate for rain forests to thrive due to high temperatures and abundant rainfall.
Why tropical rain forests are found near earths equator but not near the north pole?
Tropical rainforests require a warm and wet climate to thrive, which is found near the equator due to the direct sunlight and even distribution of heat. The North Pole, on the other hand, has a cold climate with limited sunlight and precipitation, making it unsuitable for tropical rainforest growth.
