Answer:
The geographical conditions required for the growth of rice are as follows:
i) It is a kharif crop which requires hot and humid climate for cultivation. Temperature (above 25°C) and high humidity with annual rainfall above 100 cm are favourable for the growth of rice.
ii) Rich alluvial soils of the floodplains and deltaic areas which are renewed every year are ideal for rice cultivation.
iii) Rice requires abundant rainfall or good water supply through irrigation and flooded fields during the earlier part of its growing season in June-July
