Large scale communities are referred as biomes that are named on the basis of the type of vegetation like grasslands or deciduous forests. There are certain types of biomes like the terrestrial biomes. The terrestrial biome includes tropical rain forests.

Answer to Problem 1MC
Correct answer:
Nutrient-rich soil is not a characteristic feature of the tropical rain forest. Therefore, option (c) is correct.
Option (c) is given as “nutrient-rich soil”.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reasons for the correct statement:
In the tropical rain forest, the temperature is humid as well as warm. The rainfall in this region is from
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “warm temperature year-round”.
The tropical rain forest possesses warm and humid type of temperature. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (b) is given as “abundant rainfall”.
There are heavy rainfalls in the tropical rain forest. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as “high biodiversity”.
There is higher biodiversity, for example, half of the world’s biodiversity is estimated to be present in the tropical rain forest. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect.
Tropical rain forest consists of high biodiversity, rainfall and warm temperature, but it does not consist of a fertile soil.
