Answer

  1. The specific type of rainfall experienced by this region is Convectional rainfall.

  2. Rainforests are situated near the equator, where the sun's rays strike directly throughout the year, causing intense surface heating. This heat warms the moist air, which then rises rapidly in the form of convection currents. As the moist air ascends, it cools and condenses to form thick clouds, resulting in frequent and heavy rainfall. This continuous cycle supports the lush, multi-layered vegetation and rich biodiversity found in rainforest regions.
