Question

Biodiversity is ?
a) increases towards the equator
b) decreases towards the equator
c) remains same throughout the planet
d) has no effect on change in latitude

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Biodiversity is increases towards the equator.

Explanation:

• Biodiversity refers to the diversity of life forms on the planet. It is strongest around the equator in the tropical zone due to the ideal warm and moist climate, and it lowers as you get closer to the poles.
• Because it is warmer all year, there may be more biodiversity near the equator, allowing species to continue growing. Cold winters will impede the growth of microbes, plants, and animals in locations far from the equator.

Answer 2

b) increases towards the equator

Explanation:

Due to the ideal warm and wet atmosphere surrounding the equator, it is strongest in the tropical zone, and it decreases as you approach closer to the poles. Species diversity is higher at the equator than at the poles. The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is a scientific term that depicts how the number of species increases from pole to pole as you move closer to the Equator.  This is one of the world's most well-known and widespread biodiversity patterns.
