Answer 1

The statement that offers the best analysis of how climate impacts the distribution of the world’s tropical rain forests is:

Climates that have relatively warm temperatures year-round and high precipitation year-round are associated with the location of the world’s tropical rain forests.

Tropical rain forests thrive in areas with consistently warm temperatures and high levels of annual rainfall, typically found near the equator. These climatic conditions create the ideal environment for the biodiversity and dense vegetation characteristic of tropical rain forests.
