Where can you find a rain forest in the untied states?

Question

it for a science project

Answer 1

I don't know about the un-tied states, but in the United States there are two kinds of rain forests:

tropical rain forests:  Hawaii

temperate rain forests:  Oregon, Washington, Alaska

The rainiest place in the USA (and the world) is Mount Waialeale, Hawaii.  They have a very, very rainy forest there, and it's pretty warm all the time, too.

The second rainiest place in the USA is Ketchikan, Alaska.  They also have a very, very rainy forest there, but it's much colder than the one in Hawaii.

Answer 2

Suprisingly, it's in Alaska.

Alaska's temperate old growth rainforest covers a 1,000-mile arc of coastline from Ketchikan to Kodiak, and hosts one of the world's largest remaining temperate rainforests. With more than 5 million acres of old growth forest, the region is a globally significant reservoir of biodiversity. It is one of the continent's last refuge of centuries-old coastal tree, and is habitat to large populations of animals that are rare and in jeopardy elsewhere, such as brown bears, bald eagles, wolves, goshawks and all five species of Pacific salmon.

Answer 8

Rain forests provide a haven for the largest diversity of plants and animals on Earth. Join US Forest Service experts, scientists, researchers, and students and explore the tropical rain forest in the Caribbean National Forest in Puerto Rico and the temperate rain forest in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.

"Rain forest." The words conjure up images of exotic flowers, colorful birds, lush plant life, and high humidity. These ideas are true of the tropical rain forests of equatorial Central and South America. Few people, however, realize that a similar climate and circumstances exist in North America which has produced an area known as the temperate rain forest. The images one has of the tropical rain forest are also true of the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest. The mild climate and location of the area have produced an ecosystem in which time passes very slowly. Trees in this forest grow to immense sizes and live incredibly long lives. The biomass of these forests, estimated to be between 500 and 2000 metric tons per hectare, exceeds that of the tropical rain forests. This factor also makes them valuable economically, and this has led to a reduction in their size.
