Question: whats the difference between a jungle and a rain forest

title: Jungle
text: One of the most common meanings of jungle is land overgrown with tangled vegetation at ground level , especially in the tropics . Typically such vegetation is sufficiently dense to hinder movement by humans , requiring that travelers cut their way through . This definition draws a distinction between rainforest and jungle , since the understorey of rainforests is typically open of vegetation due to a lack of sunlight , and hence relatively easy to traverse . Jungles may exist within , or at the borders of , rainforests in areas where rainforest has been opened through natural disturbance such as hurricanes , or through human activity such as logging . The successional vegetation that springs up following such disturbance of rainforest is dense and impenetrable and is a ' typical ' jungle . Jungle also typically forms along rainforest margins such as stream banks , once again due to the greater available light at ground level . 

Answer: answer: Jungle is land overgrown with tangled vegetation at ground level. This draws a distinction between rainforest and jungle, since the understory of rainforests is typically open of vegetation due to a lack of sunlight.
