The desert relies on precipitation from weather patterns, while the rainforest can create its own precipitation.

True or false

Answer 1

True.

Deserts are dry because they get little moisture and depend on external weather systems (moist air masses or storms) for the occasional rainfall. Tropical rainforests, by contrast, return large amounts of water to the atmosphere via evapotranspiration (evaporation from leaves and soil and plant transpiration), increasing local humidity and often producing convective rainfall that recycles moisture locally — a reason forest loss can reduce regional rainfall.
