Tropical rainforests are dense and warm rainforests with high rainfall typically found between 10° north and south of the Equator.
See Tardigrade and Tropical rainforest
Turonian
The Turonian is, in the ICS' geologic timescale, the second age in the Late Cretaceous Epoch, or a stage in the Upper Cretaceous Series.
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays.

Vacuum
A vacuum (vacuums or vacua) is space devoid of matter.
Ventral nerve cord
The ventral nerve cord is a major structure of the invertebrate central nervous system.
