Rainforests are in wet tropical areas that receive from 50 to over 200 inches of rain a year. The rain forests have four distinct layers - emergent, upper canopy, understory and forest floor. The height of trees in each of those layers is distinctively different and quite interesting; from the top down, each layer affects and creates the environment for everything below it.
