Question

State two important characteristics of the Moist Tropical Evergreen forests.

Answer 1

1. Dense and Evergreen Trees: These forests have very dense vegetation with trees that remain green throughout the year because of the constant supply of moisture.
2. High Biodiversity and Tall Trees: These forests support a wide variety of plant and animal species, and the trees are very tall, often reaching up to 60 metres or more.

These forests are found in areas with high rainfall (above 200 cm) and hot, humid climates, such as the Western Ghats and northeastern states.
