What is the popular name for a thick tangled mass of tropical vegetation?

The popular name for a thick tangled mass of tropical vegetation is a jungle. This thick growth is also characteristic of a rainforest.


Which biome is so abundant and thick that almost no sunlight reaches the soil?

The tropical rainforest biome is so abundant and thick that almost no sunlight reaches the soil due to the dense canopy formed by tall trees, vines, and other vegetation. This results in a dark and humid understory where only shade-tolerant plants can grow.


Which climate has the most thick fertile soil?

Tropical climates tend to have the most thick fertile soil due to the constant warmth and moisture that promote rapid decomposition of organic matter, leading to nutrient-rich soil formation. Areas like rainforests and tropical savannas typically have deep, fertile soils that support lush vegetation.


Why is a soil profile in a tropical rain forest different from desert?

A soil profile in a tropical rainforest tends to be thick with distinct layers due to high rainfall and rapid decomposition of organic matter. In contrast, desert soil profiles are typically shallow with little organic matter, as the low rainfall and high temperature limit plant growth and organic input, resulting in less developed soil horizons.


Where is the least amount of air movement in tropical rainforests?

The least amount of air movement in tropical rainforests is found in the understory which is also known as the lower canopy. Not only is the air still in the understory, but it also hot and humid. Also, there is very little sunlight.
