Hint: Forests is an area with a huge amount of trees. Based on the type of ecosystem and trees ,there are several types of forest. Ecosystem is the physical surrounding of an object. Based on Ecosystem , forests are classified as Tropical, Temperate, Taiga. Based on trees they are classified as Evergreen, Deciduous, Mixed , Coniferous and Mediterranean forests.

Complete answer:
Evergreen forests do not shed their leaves during the dry season. Deciduous forests shed their leaves during the dry season. Monsoon forests are those which shed their leaf during the dry season and regain their growth and leaves during the monsoon season. The monsoon forests are otherwise called Tropical deciduous forests.
Tropical deciduous forests are presented in those regions where annual rainfall is between seventy to two hundred centimeter. In India ,these forests are found in abundance. Several lianas (woody vines) and herbaceous epiphytes (air plants) such as orchids exist. Monsoon forests have been developed especially in Southeast Asia and typified by tall teak trees and bamboo thick trees. Tropical deciduous forests are found in areas where the annual rainfall is seventy to two hundred centimeter. These forests are divided into dry and dry deciduous forests based on water availability. There are two types of forest one is dry deciduous forests and second is humid deciduous forests.
Humid deciduous forests are found in areas where rainfall is hundred to two hundred centimeter. These forests grow in the north easters states and eastern in the himalayas,the eastern slopes of the western ghats and odisha. Teak, sal and rosewood trees are located in this region.

These forests are found in the more rainy parts of the peninsula and in the plains of uttar pradesh and bihar. The main trees found in these forests are tendu and palas.
