The equatorial rain forest is also known as

The equatorial rainforest, characterized by high temperatures and abundant rainfall throughout the year, is also known as 'Selva' or 'Selvas'. This term specifically refers to the dense tropical rainforests found in the Amazon lowlands of South America [4]. These forests are noted for their extreme density, vertical stratification, and thick canopies that often block sunlight from reaching the forest floor [5]. In contrast, Savanna refers to tropical grasslands with sparse, fire-resistant trees [3]. Campos (or Campo-Cerrado) and Llanos (often misspelled as Lanose in the options) are regional names for tropical grasslands in Brazil and Venezuela, respectively, rather than rainforests [2]. The equatorial climate is also referred to as the hot and wet equatorial climate or tropical moist broadleaf forest [1].
