An average annual precipitation in tropical rainforest, quantity exceeded ups
A. 12°C
B. 18°C
C. 22°C
D. 6°C

Explanation

Solution

Average annual precipitation means a calendar year of precipitation caused by rainfall excluding snow, which is considered typical. Average annual rainfall means the mean annual amount of precipitation of a location over a year, which is measured by the nearest National Weather Service station for the preceding three decades.

Complete answer:
Tropical rain forests are found near the equatorial regions to be accurate within 20 degrees of latitude from the equator. In these places or regions average annual temperatures exceed about 20°C and total annual rainfall exceeds 250 cm. This biome is the richest of all in species of both plants and animals, with up to 500 species of trees per km square
Tropical rainforests can be characterized in two words namely hot and wet. The mean monthly temperature exceeds 18 °C throughout the year. The average annual rainfall is no less than 1,680 mm which is 66 inches and can exceed 10 m which is 390 inches although it lies between 1,750 mm which is 69 inches and 3,000 mm which is 120 inches. This high level of precipitation results in poor soil composition due to the leaching of soluble nutrients in the ground.

The correct option is (C) 22°C.

Note: Tropical rainforests exhibit a high level of biodiversity. In a total of flowering plants, two-thirds of all flowering plants are found in rainforests. A single hectare of rainforest almost contains 42,000 different species of insects, trees of 313 species, and 1,500 species of higher plants. Tropical rainforests have been called the "world's largest pharmacy" because nearly one-quarter of natural medicines have been discovered within them.
