Question

Assertion (A): Life in the Tundra region is very harsh and difficult.

Reason (R): In the Tundra region, people move southward in winters and northward in summers.

Options

• Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

• Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct reason for A.

• A is true, and R is false.

• A is false, and R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct reason for A.

Explanation:

Life in the Tundra is harsh; it has long, severe winters, very low temperatures, and scant vegetation. The people there do lead a semi‑nomadic life, moving south in winter and north in summer. This seasonal movement is an adaptation to the harsh climate, not the cause of the harshness.
