The temperature in the rainforest above the trees is hot but the temperature just below the trees is warm because the trees are blocking it and the ground floor is cooler because it doest get much sun so it is cool. The soil is also cool because it hardly gets enough sun because there are too many trees whish blocks it from getting heat.

Rainforest are around Latin America, Africa and Southeast asia. And also in the Amazon.

There are lots of people who cuts down trees and hunt for animals or animal products in the rainforest but the biggest threat to the rainforest is man. Now, more than half of the rainforest is destroyed because of people cutting down trees. And if more trees are cut down, animals who lives in the trees would be in danger.
