how does relief and rainfall influence the distribution of natural vegetation in India ?Explain
Answers
The relief and rainfall of any region determine the natural vegetation of that place. In Indian sub- continent it can be seen through the following points:
1. The western slopes of the Western Ghats receive more than 200 cm of rainfall. Due to heavy rainfall, tropical evergreen forests are found in this region on a large scale.
2. Indifferent mountainous regions different types of vegetation are found, at the height of 1500 to 3000 coniferous trees are found but at the height of 1000 to 2000 wet temperate forests are found.
3. In areas with rainfall of 70 cm to 100 cm and in semi-arid regions, the vegetation consists of acacias and palm.
Answer:
The rainfall patterns and that of the relief development are same as that of the climate and the weather events on earth.
Explanation:
- The natural vegetation of any place, be that of India or abroad is directly and indirectly impacted by the rotation and the distribution of the weather patterns of the earth and varies with the amount of the natural rainfall and the winds.
- The impact of the latitudes, and the altitudes and the pressure difference that are produced by the mixing of the low and high pressure on the earth.
- This gradually affects the health of the flora and the fauna that found in the areas as the mountain, plains, and plateaus create that topographic features and the relief features all interact to create the dense, and thickness of the vegetation.
- Hence the climate of a zone like the tropics, temperate and the polar regions creates a distinct zone of the natural vegetation or reams on earth similar to the places on varying latitudes in India also have the distinct natural hotspots.
- Varying amounts of sunshine and the availability of heat moisture and wind affect the vegetation lifespan.
