I heard that extreme south Florida (including Florida keys) is tropical,so does south Florida have rainforest?

No part of Florida is actually tropical.  Key West sits at 24°33′2.16″N latitude, while the Tropic of Cancer is further south, at 23° 26′ 22″.  It actually passes very close to Havana, Cuba, some 90 miles south of Key West.  Florida does not have rainforests, but it does have a massive subtropical wetlands called the Everglades.

Actually, Florida has some good spots. "Sebastian Inlet" is one of the "Hottest". In Jacksonville, FLA there is a couple good spots,( "Hannah Park", is a good one.) North Carolina, Cape Hatteras. Most of the East Coast breaks bigger during hurricane season,(but that can be detrimental to your health...lol). If I had to pick the best, it would be Sebastian Inlet. Good luck!

It depends on the place of the planet where the tropical rain forest is located.  I am from Tortuguero, Costa Rica, and the biggest plants on that tropical rain forest are Almendros, Caobas and Cedros beside a lot of differents ones that nobody knows the names.  In English?? I dont know...

Tropical rainforests are found in a belt around the equator of the Earth. There are tropical rainforests across South America, Central America, Africa, Southeast Asia and Australia (and nearby islands). \n\nTemperate rainforests are found along the Pacific coast of the USA and Canada (from northern California to Alaska), in New Zealand, Tasmania, Chile, Ireland, Scotland and Norway. They are less abundant than tropical rainforests.

racist?\n\nwait, that's not one of the options... i would say "c," then.\nflorida is tropical (where i live), but most of the south is not considered tropical, i think.

Miami has a warmer climate for three main reasons\n\n1.  Miami is closer to the Tropics: hence, more sunlight.\n2.  Generally, a city at a low altitude is warmer than one at a higher altitude.  I even remember this from Geography class: a 100-120 m increase in altitude generally brings about 1 degree Celsius decrease in temperature.\n3.  The currents of the Caribbean are warmer than the currents of the Pacific, so Miami enjoys warmer breezes.  Not forgetting the humidity as well.

Why yeah, for sure, why not?  Em things go down in all states, exempting none.  Florida seems to be special for Spring Break students, but aside from that, only its climate is special.

If you expect to have fun, you will.  If you are sure that you'll be bored, that will happen.  There's a lot to do in Florida, but it depends on where you go and what you like to do.  If you're going to the Orlando area, of course there are all of the theme parks like Disney, Epcot and Seaworld.  Busch Gardens is in the Tampa area.  Key West is a fun place to go, and our beaches on the West Coast are great.  If you want to have a good time, Florida is as good a place as any to do it.  It was 80 here today.  How was it where you are?

Florida is great....Miami area even better!  Except for the obvious hurricane or 2...:)\n\nI live in CT currently, but lived in South Florida for 13 years before coming back home to raise my small children.  There is a huge difference between South FL and good ole CT!  It took me 3 entire years to adjust to the difference.  But my husband and I talk every day about when we will move back...the public school system is very over crowded and we want our children to get the best education they can possibly get.  BUT we will return.\n\nThe weather is amazing!  Don't let anyone tell you it is too HOT in the summer....it is actually hotter here in CT in the summer because of the humidity.  In FL, especially South Florida, there is always an ocean breeze.  It is very hot in Florida, but it is just as hot in CT....the main difference is that it is hotter longer in FL.  But just like we do in the winter up here, in FL on those super hot days you go from air conditioned house to air conditioned car to air conditioned job...etc.  It is hard getting used to wearing shorts and tank tops while you are singing Christmas carols and shopping with Santa ringing the Salvation Army bell.  And it is very humorous when the native Floridians break out their sweaters and mittens and scarves when the temperature drops to a freezing 50 degrees. The weather is a definate PLUS if you enjoy sunshine and blue skies and big white fluffy clouds.  It rains almost EVERY day for 20 minutes or so, usually around 4 or 5 pm to cool things off.  It only brings out the bugs so bring your repellent!\n\nThe bugs are icky in FL!  Mosquitos are the size of small air planes and literally leave bruises when the hit you (kidding, lol), and there are 2 kinds of insects that I never heard of until I moved....sugar ants are tiny, itty bitty ants that are attracted to everything and impossible to control unless you use an exterminator....they are a nuisance but that is it.  And the toally disgusting sea lice, but if you don't like the ocean than that won't be a problem.  I love to dive so I hate them but hey, you find remedies and they work....I guess.\n\n I am not sure about the job situation for a business professional but I do know that South Florida is growing at a very fast rate!  Real Estate is quite expensive, but the cost of living is not as much as good ole CT.  You actually receive money in your paycheck and don't give the whole "kit and kaboodle" to Uncle Sam.  The night life and entertainment in South Florida is amazing!  The food is superior, Hollywood has taken a serious interest in South Beach....etc.\n\nI could go on and on about FL vs CT as I lived it!  Please, if you have any questions or concerns or if you think that I can help your transition in any way , feel free to email me!  Click on my avatar and you can get my email address.\n\nI love South Florida....let me know if I can help out in any way.

Hurricanes form in regions known as "basins". If you look at where these are you'll understand why hurricanes rarely hit South America. (see link)

It is a peninsula that sticks out into the Gulf of Mexico. Most hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean form off the coast of Africa, inwhich they travel over the Atlantic ocean.\n\nMajority of hurricanes travel over Florida to reach the warm waters of the Gulf. Then Florida may get hit again when the hurricane travels back over the state and travels up the coastline via Gulf Stream

Most of the Caribbean islands are coral keys, which means they are equivalent to a sandy desert as far the quantity and variety of life found there. It is the river estuaries, rich in plant and animal life, that make the water murky looking along these mainland coastlines. It also makes them some of the best fishing grounds to be found. If you don't trees and grass you live in a desert.  If you don't like water thick with pea green algae you live on coral key island.

Argentina could in theory be affected by a hurricane, but is definitely not in a region very favorable for hurricanes.  The southern Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Oceans are very rare to have any hurricanes because there is a lot of wind shear there and ocean temperatures are not as favorable.  There was one "named" storm in that region ever, which hit Brazil last year (though the government of Brazil denies it was a hurricane).  There is no formal tropical weather center for that region.  Argentina is also further south and thus cooler, and even less likely than Brazil to face a hurricane.  So while it is theoretically possible, the odds of Argentina seeing a hurricane in our lifetime are miniscule... so it's definitely not in/on a belt!
