Amazon Rainforests are large tropical rainforests occupying the drainage basin of the Amazon River and its tributaries in northern South America.

It is a vast region that spans eight rapidly developing countries: Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana, an overseas territory of France.
Tropical forests are closed-canopy forests growing within 28 degrees north or south of the equator.
They are very wet places, receiving more than 200 cm rainfall per year, either seasonally or throughout the year.
Temperatures are uniformly high - between 20°C and 35°C.
Such forests are found in Asia, Australia, Africa, South America, Central America, Mexico and on many of the Pacific Islands.
Comprising about 40% of Brazil’s total area, it is bounded by the Guiana Highlands to the north, the Andes Mountains to the west (not Pacific Ocean), the Brazilian central plateau to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

Hence statement 1st is correct.
