The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the features of tropical rain forests, we will analyze each option provided and determine which ones are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Option a: Buttress roots** - Buttress roots are indeed a characteristic feature of many trees in tropical rainforests. They provide stability to tall trees in the shallow soil of the rainforest. - **Conclusion**: This option is **correct**. 2. **Analyze Option b: Vines, lianas, epiphytes are abundant** - Tropical rainforests are known for their high biodiversity, which includes a significant presence of vines, lianas (woody vines), and epiphytes (plants that grow on other plants). - **Conclusion**: This option is **correct**. 3. **Analyze Option c: Highly leached soils** - Tropical rainforests often have highly leached soils due to heavy rainfall, which washes away nutrients. This leads to nutrient-poor soils. - **Conclusion**: This option is **correct**. 4. **Analyze Option d: Soil has high base content** - The soils in tropical rainforests are typically low in base content due to leaching. Thus, this statement is incorrect. - **Conclusion**: This option is **incorrect**. 5. **Analyze Option e: 30-40 m tall canopy structure with 2-3 strata only** - The canopy of tropical rainforests is usually much taller, often exceeding 50 meters, and consists of multiple strata (layers), not just 2-3. - **Conclusion**: This option is **incorrect**. ### Final Conclusion: The correct options regarding the features of tropical rain forests are: - a. Buttress roots (Correct) - b. Vines, lianas, epiphytes are abundant (Correct) - c. Highly leached soils (Correct) Thus, the correct answer would include options a, b, and c.
