Q.   Consider the following differences between tropical rainforest and temperate rainforests:

1. Rainfall is higher in temperate rainforests in comparison of tropical rainforests
2. Biodiversity is higher in temperate rainforests in comparison to tropical rainforests

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer: Neither 1 nor 2
Notes: Both statements are incorrect. 1. Tropical rainforests receive importantly more rainfall than temperate rainforests, often exceeding 2000 mm annually, while temperate rainforests typically receive 1000-3000 mm. 2. Biodiversity is generally higher in tropical rainforests, which are home to over half of the world's plant and animal species despite covering only about 6% of Earth's land surface. Thus, the correct answer is "Neither 1 nor 2."
