Which biome is characterized by evergreen trees and heavy rainfall, with the Amazon rainforest as a notable example?

• A. Desert
• B. Rainforest
• C. Tundra
• D. Grassland

Answer: (B)

Rainforest. This biome is defined by heavy rainfall and warm temperatures that keep trees evergreen year-round, creating a dense, multi-layered canopy. The Amazon rainforest is the quintessential example because it receives a large amount of rain throughout the year and supports a vast, diverse forest with tall, continuously leafy trees.

Deserts have very little rainfall, tundras are cold with short growing seasons and sparse trees, and grasslands are dominated by grasses with few or no tall trees. The combination of abundant moisture and warmth that keeps leaves year-round makes rainforest the best fit.
