Question

Give geographical reasons:

Deciduous trees are found on a large scale in India.

Answer 1

1. Areas with rainfall between 1000 and 2000 mm, which is ideal for their growth, are home to deciduous woods.
2. The annual rainfall in the majority of India, particularly the plains and plateau, is within this range, which makes it possible for deciduous vegetation to spread widely.
3. Because of its monsoon environment, India has a distinct dry season. Deciduous forest trees limit transpiration and lose their leaves to deal with the water shortage at this time.
4. Trees that are well-suited to these circumstances, such as teak, bamboo, banyan, and peepal, can endure hot summers by storing moisture.
5. Deciduous forests are now the most common form of vegetation in India because of these climatic circumstances and the flexibility of trees.
