how do the temperature and precipitation patterns of a tropical rainforest differ most significantly from those of a desert?
rainforests are hotter and wetter; deserts are cooler and drier
rainforests are cooler and drier; deserts are hotter and wetter
both receive similar precipitation but differ in temperature
both have similar temperatures but differ in precipitation

Explanation:

Tropical rainforests and deserts are both located in regions with relatively high temperatures (near the equator for many rainforests and in subtropical regions for deserts). However, tropical rainforests receive a large amount of precipitation (high humidity, frequent rainfall), while deserts have very low precipitation (arid conditions).

Answer:

Both have similar temperatures but differ in precipitation.
