Question

Mention two reasons to explain why there is a higher percentage of forest cover in North East India.

Answer 1

1. High Rainfall and Humid Climate: The region receives abundant rainfall due to the southwest and northeast monsoons, creating ideal conditions for dense forest growth, including tropical rainforests and deciduous forests.
2. Hilly and Mountainous Terrain: Much of NortheastIndia is covered by hills and mountains (e.g., Khasi, Garo, and Naga Hills), which are less suitable for agriculture and urban development, allowing forests to remain relatively undisturbed.
