Question

Maximum species diversity is seen in latitudinal range of

$23.5^{\circ}N$ to $66.5^{\circ}N$

$23.5^{\circ}N$ to $23.5^{\circ}S$

$23.5^{\circ}N$ to $66.5^{\circ}S$

$66.5^{\circ}N$ to $90^{\circ}N$

Answer

$23.5^{\circ}N$ to $23.5^{\circ}S$

Explanation

Solution

In tropical region (latitudinal rang of $23.5^{\circ}N$ to $23.5^{\circ}S$ ), Species diversity is maximum than temperate region. This richness of species is due to higher rain fall (precipitation) throughout the year which in turn result into higher relative humidity, both condition allow to flourish fauna and flora, i.e., abundant evergreen forest with lower group plant like algae and bryophytes.
