Answers
Answer:
c) A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ranges blocked all plant-growing, rainy weather. ... On the other side of the mountain—the rain shadow side—all that precipitation is blocked. In a rain shadow, it's warm and dry. Eg: The eastern side of the Sahyadri ranges on the Deccan Plateau including: Northern Karnataka and Solapur, Beed, Osmanabad, the Vidharba Plateau and the eastern side of Kerala and western Tamil Nadu in India. Gilgit and Chitral, Pakistan, are rain shadow areas.
d) Any two local winds which blow in India are Loo and Nor - westers
e) When the weight of water vapour expressed with respect to the unit volume of air is called absolute humidity. on the other hand relative humidity is the ratio between the water vapour actually present in the air and its capacity to hold water vapour at a given temperature.
Question 5
a) Mediterranean climates also tend to be drier than humid subtropical ones, with precipitation totals ranging from 35 to 90 cm (14 to 35 inches); the lowest amounts occur in interior regions adjacent to the semiarid steppe climates.
b) Deciduous plants lose their leaves to conserve water or to better survive dry weather conditions. Thus they regrow new foliage during the next suitable growing season.
c) The tundra biome features the northernmost limit where plants can grow on earth. The existence of contiguous permafrost is thought to be one of the main reasons why there are no trees in the tundra, because, being permenantly frozen, permafrost has a tendency to hamper root development.
d) Due to the particular rainy season followed by autumn and winter, this type of climate has deciduous vegetation. The coastal parts have tropical evergreen Rain Forests slightly different from equatorial vegetation, these are rosewood, ebony, sisam, bamboo, etc. Deciduous trees are found in Khair, Tendu, etc.
