thank you, your answers are correct
here are the answers in order for the Climate Determinants Quick Check:
1. There is a cold ocean current on the west coast of South America.
2. Latitudes farthest away from the equator in the Southern Hemisphere would experience less-intense solar radiation, or none at all, during the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice, likely leading to the coldest climates on Earth during that time.
3. the North Pole
4. Mountain ranges can create rainshadow deserts.
5. Climates that have relatively warm temperatures year-round and high precipitation year-round are associated with the location of the world’s tropical rain forests.

I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer for the location that experiences 24 hours of darkness for many weeks during the Southern Hemisphere summer is "the North Pole."

Which statement offers the best analysis of how climate impacts the distribution of the world’s tropical rain forests?(1 point)
Responses
Climates with mountainous regions where biome-related changes happen quickly as elevation increases are associated with tropical rain forests.
