Answer:
B. Tropical Rain Forest
Why do rainforests have high biodiversity?
Biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of living things.
[Total number of all living things (including plants, animals, and microorganisms) in the area]
The rainforests are situated in a tropical area, namely between the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer. 10 degrees of latitude, just to the south and north.
Examples include the rainforests of Central America, Western Africa, various Pacific Islands, Papua New Guinea, and Southeast Asia (Andaman, Indonesian archipelago, etc.).
Why!?
- Sunshine: There is an abundance of sunlight across much of the region, giving species more time to develop. All year long, there are exactly as many days as nights. (Poles: Light only lasts six months, an organism's life cycle lasts six months, after which it goes into dormancy for another six months, as in the case of polar bears, penguins, etc.)
- The ideal temperature range for the yearly average is between 23 and 28 °C. Temperature-Warmth, Narrow Range: This ensures the evolution of many species.
- Rainfall and humidity throughout the year ensure that all creatures may participate in the ecosystem.
- Soil Density, Because nutrients are recycled and are readily available, and because these lengths are ideal, organisms can evolve for a longer period of time. It causes organisms to adapt and acclimate to that environment
- The presence of several predators, such as insects, pests, and other critters, reduces the dominance of single species.
- Extreme climatic conditions, such as high temperatures and extreme cold, might take a very little period for a species to complete its life cycle.
- Favorable environmental factors encourage speciation and allow for the existence of a high number of species there.
- Every creature has an equal chance to develop and fit into a certain habitat.
- The environment provides for increased speciation, adaptability, and all other necessary necessities of every single life.
