Answer 2

There are many colloquial names for ‘tropical rain forest’. In Australian colonial times the rain forest was described as the ‘scrub’ or ‘brush’. In the recent past, the most commonly used name around the world has been ‘jungle’. For many people this probably covers what we will later determine as tropical rain forest. In the last few decades, however, the words ‘rain forest’ have actually replaced the old fashioned ‘jungle’. These words “rain forest” are more of a technical term, and were originally used by a German botanist over a hundred years ago; “tropischer Regenwald”.

Rain forest in this scheme is actually divided into ‘moist forest’, ‘wet forest’, and ‘rain forest’.( cit. )
