Consistently high temperatures
B
Distinct wet and dry seasons
C

D
Permafrost presence
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the characteristics of a tropical seasonal forest. These forests are typically found in regions with consistently high temperatures and distinct wet and dry seasons.
Recognize that tropical seasonal forests are known for their high biodiversity, meaning they support a wide variety of plant and animal species.
Identify the term 'permafrost.' Permafrost refers to a thick subsurface layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the year, occurring chiefly in polar regions.
Compare the characteristics of tropical seasonal forests with those of environments where permafrost is present. Permafrost is typically found in tundra or polar regions, not in tropical climates.
Conclude that the presence of permafrost is not a characteristic of tropical seasonal forests, as these forests are located in warm climates where the ground does not remain frozen year-round.
