Select the statements that describe rain forests.(can be more than 1 answer)
rain forests are the natural habitat for 20 percent of the world's plant and animal species.
-rain forests are located near the equator.
-the area covered by rain forests increases 10 percent annually.
-species found in rain forests may be used to cure disease.
-rain forests remove o2 from the atmosphere.
-species found in the rain forest decrease each day.

The answers are:

- Rainforests are located near the equator; the rainforests require special conditions to be able to prosper, like constant summer with relatively high temperatures, and almost daily precipitation, and these conditions are found around the equator.

- Species found in the rainforests may be used to cure disease; there's thousands of plants/herbs that have been proven to cure lots of diseases for which the pharmaceutical industry hasn't been able to find proper medications.

- Species found in the rainforest decrease each day; because of the destruction of the rainforest on a daily basis, lots of species, both faunal and floral, are being exterminated and thus lost forever from the face of the Earth.
