Why do climates that receive heavy rain all year long have thin topsoil?
The rain washes away much of the topsoil. This runoff builds up in rivers and river deltas as silt. And is usually very fertile.
Are the Himalayas densely or sparsely populated and why?
Sparsely populated. Because it is mountainous therefore too difficult for settlement, the mountains also make it very bad for communication. The soil is too thin and poor for crops. There is hardly any vegetation, extreme weathers of tropical climates and freezing climates. Also in case of avalanches.

How long does it take for a destroyed rainforest area to recover?
There is no guarantee that it will ever recover. The layer of topsoil in a rainforest is extremely thin. Because there is so much competition for food in the forest, little material builds up to form topsoil. When the trees are cut down and the thin layer of topsoil is exposed to sun, wind, and water, it is more susceptible to erosion. When the topsoil disappears, the land becomes un-arable, and becomes essentially desert.
