“Canada has vast forests — boreal forests. Jungle is dense tropical growth, mostly in the tropics.”
The ruleii
¶
JUNGLE = dense tropical. FOREST = trees.
FOREST is the general term — any area of dense trees. JUNGLE is specifically dense, tangled vegetation in tropical or subtropical regions — hard to walk through. All jungles are forests; not all forests are jungles.
Memory aidiii
Remember it like this
Forests are any trees. Jungles are tropical thickets.
