Question

Alpine Tundra is found in
A. Himalayas
B. Siberia
C. Andaman
D. Tropic

Answer 1

Alpine Tundra is a biome which does not contain trees. It is present at higher altitude. The climate of this region is cold and adverse. The plants found here are mainly grasses, shrubs or semi woody shrubs.

Complete Answer:
There are mainly 4 zones according to the climate and vegetation.
1. The tropics- It lies in the equatorial region. The temperature of this area is relatively greater and receives maximum rainfall. The forest present here is the Evergreen Rain forest. Example- Andamans.
2. The temperate zone- It lives in the mid latitude. It comprises mainly deciduous forest. The forests of Siberia are temperate deciduous.
3. Tundra region- This type of forest is found in the higher altitudes especially the mountains. The region has an intense climate with cold waves and less sunlight. The plants like sledges, grasses etc thrive. This region is found in the Himalayas.
4. Taiga- It lies at the poles. The forest is densely covered with snow. Hardly any sort of vegetation grows here.

Thus the correct answer is (A). Alpine Tundra is found in the Himalayas.

Note: The vegetation of a place is majorly affected by the climate of a place. The temperature decreases as we move from the equator towards the poles. So the vegetation also differs according to the latitudes. The Himalayan region is found in India, Nepal, Bhutan.
