Which forest receives a large amount of rain each year?

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

Answer: (B)

Rainfall is a big factor that shapes forests. A forest that receives a large amount of rain each year stays very wet, supports tall trees, and is full of life all year round. The rainforest fits this description because it gets heavy rainfall year-round in a warm, humid climate, which creates dense vegetation and a lush ecosystem.

Deserts have very little rain, so they don’t support dense plant growth. Savannas get some rain but experience a long dry season, so they’re not as wet as rainforests. Tundras are cold and receive precipitation mainly as snow, which is much less water than a tropical rainforest. So, the forest that gets the most rain yearly is the rainforest.
