  1. Journey through the Rain Forest… … the tropical rain forest!
  2. What is a rainforest??
    • The rainforest is Earth’s oldest ecosystem!
    • They are very dense, hot forests – called rain forests because it is raining an average of 120 days per year in these areas!

    • The Amazon is called the “lungs” because it is our world’s biggest supply of oxygen! More than 20% of all the oxygen is produced from this one forest!
  5. Where are the rain forests? Here I Am! The rainforests are located in a band all the way around the globe called the “tropics.” This area is found along the equator, giving it a certain temperature & climate…
    • Because the rain forests are found near the equator, the temperature stays hot all year long!
