Question

Consider the following major characteristics.
$1$. High temperature & high precipitation throughout the year
$2$. Low atmospheric pressure.
$3$. Located near the equator ($10$o North & South) between the trade wind belt of the two hemispheres.
$4$. A large area of this biome is found in Amazon Basin.
Identify the Biome having the given characteristics.

• A. Tropical Evergreen Rainforest Biome
• B. Monsoon Deciduous Biome
• C. Savanna Biome
• D. Subtropical Evergreen Biome

Answer 1

The correct option is A Tropical Evergreen Rainforest Biome

Tropical rainforests are rainforests that occur in areas of tropical rainforest climate in which there is no dry season – all months have average precipitation of at least 60 mm – and may also be referred to as lowland equatorial evergreen rainforest. True rainforests are typically found between 10 degrees north and south of the equator (see map); they are a subset of the tropical forest biome that occurs roughly within the 28-degree latitudes (in the equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn). Within the World Wildlife Fund's biome classification, tropical rainforests are a type of tropical moist broadleaf forest (or tropical wet forest) that also includes the more extensive seasonal tropical forests

So the correct option is 'Tropical Evergreen Rainforest Biome'.
