This is a small biome in terms of where it is located. It is along the northwestern coast of North America from northern California through southern Alaska. Some smaller areas are Chile, New Zealand, Australia, and Europe. The Pacific Northwest develops moisture-rich air masses from the Pacific Ocean. The ocean then rises and stays near coastal mountain ranges in Oregon and Washington. In general, Temperate Rain Forests are often on the coast of oceans.
