All of the given choices contribute to high rainfall in the tropics at the equator. Warmer air can hold more moisture than cooler air, causing more moisture to be released as rainfall. Density of air at different temperatures also affects the amount of moisture in the air, with warmer air being less dense and able to hold more moisture. Evapotranspiration rate, which is the combined loss of water from the ground by evaporation and from plants by transpiration, also contributes to the high rainfall in the tropics.
