Solution

The statements that describe tropical rain forests are:

  • Found along the equator
  • Species diversity is extremely high

The other two options are not typically characteristic of tropical rain forests. While there are trees in the rainforest, they do not lose their leaves seasonally as trees in temperate climates do. Also, contrary to what one might think, soils in rainforests are often poor in nutrients. This is because the heavy rainfall washes away nutrients, and the rapid growth of plants also uses up nutrients quickly.
