1. They in the regions near the Equator and close to the tropics.
2. These regions are hot and receive heavy rainfall throughout the year.
3. The trees do not shed their leaves altogether.

Which of the above mentioned statements is/are incorrect?
Answer: None of the above
Notes: Tropical Evergreen Forests are also called Tropical Rainforests. These thick forests occur in the regions near the Equator and close to the tropics. These regions are hot and receive heavy rainfall throughout the year. As there is no particular dry season, the trees do not shed their leaves altogether. This is the reason they are called evergreen. The thick canopies of the closely spaced trees do not allow the sunlight to penetrate inside the forest even in the day time.
