Answer:

So trees in temperate don't lose their leaves because the weather events aren't harsh enough.

Trees in tropical rainforest don't lose their leaves because they are a different type of tree known as evergreens that are green all year round.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so first we'll define some things

Deciduous Trees= Trees that lose all of their leaves for part of the year.

Trees shed their leaves trees to try and survive harsh weather events.

Temperate deciduous trees lose their leaves in fall to better survive the winter conditions of extreme cold and reduced daylight.

Temperate rainforests = An area that doesn't experience extremely cold or extremely hot temperatures or what we would call harsh weather events.

Broad-leaved trees in tropical rainforests are known evergreen, they are known as this as they are green all year round.
