Question

What is migration? Explain with the help of an example.

Answer 1

Migration is the periodic, two-way movement of animals from one place to another in response to unfavourable conditions, returning when conditions improve. It helps animals find food, shelter and breeding grounds.

Example: The Siberian crane migrates from Siberia to India every winter when Siberia becomes extremely cold, and returns in summer. The Arctic tern covers more than 11,000 miles between the North and South Poles.
