Which of the following is not a characteristic feature of tropical rain forests?

  1. Trees with longer boles (trunks) than those in savanna
  2. Fewer canopy strata than found in the savanna ✓
  3. Many more trees and climbers than in the savanna
  4. Trees are usually tall
Explanation

Tropical rain forests have tall trees with long trunks, many climbers, and several layers of canopy. They are usually denser than the savanna.

The savanna has scattered trees and grass, with few layers. So “fewer canopy strata than found in the savanna” is not a feature of rain forests. The rain forest has more strata, not fewer.
