Which of these is not a true characteristic of the tropical rain forest?
Answer Details
The characteristic that is not true of tropical rainforest is "Annual rainfall is less than 100 cm". This statement is incorrect because the tropical rainforest is known to have high annual rainfall, typically ranging from 1750 to 2000 mm (or 175-200 cm) per year. The other characteristics mentioned are true of tropical rainforests. Tropical rainforests are characterized by tall trees with thick canopies, epiphytes and climbers, low light intensity, high humidity, and damp floors. The fruits of trees are often large-sized and adapted for dispersal by animals rather than wind.
