While some of this water comes from the Atlantic Ocean, a lot of the rain that falls in the Amazon gets recycled, mainly through evapotranspiration — the transfer of water from the soil and the plants to the atmosphere in the form of vapour.

It is warm most of the time in the tropics, usually 25 degrees C or greater so a lot of ocean water gets evaporated. ... This adds water vapor to the air and raises the humidity. Winds blowing inland carry this water laden air to the next section of rainforest with cooler air and another belt of rainforest gets rain.

Rainforests are subject to heavy rainfall, at least 80 inches (2,000 mm) — and in some areas over 430 inches (10,920 mm) — of rain each year. In equatorial regions, rainfall may be year round without apparent "wet" or "dry" seasons, although many forests do have seasonal rains.

Answer: It's because of the mainly three factors.

1) The intense sunlight that hits the equatorial region

2) The vegetation itself

3) The geography

Explanation:While some of this water comes from the Atlantic Ocean,a lot of the rain falls in the Amazon gets recycled, mainly through evapotranspiration - the transfer of water from the soil and the plants to the atmosphere in the form of vapour. The intense sunlight boosts this process and results in large quantities of water vapour to gather in the form of clouds above the Amazon region...
