Answer 1

Answer:

In mountainous areas, the decrease in temperature with increase in altitude leads to corresponding changes in natural vegetation.

Explanation:

At high altitude of more than 3600 metres temperate forests and grasslands give way to alpine vegetation. Silver fir, junipers, pines and birches are common trees.

Answer 2

India is the only country in the world that has both tigers and lions.  

•  

The Himalayas have a large range of animals that survive the bitter cold.  

•  

Every species of animal has a role to play in the ecosystem; hence conservation is essential.  

•  

Hunting and pollution is causing threat to animal species.  

•  

To protect the flora and fauna of the country, the government has taken many steps.  

•  

Fourteen biosphere reserves have been set up in the country to protect flora and fauna.  

•  

89 National Parks, 49 Wildlife Sanctuaries and Biosphere Reserves have been set up to take  

care of natural heritage.  

Ans. The northern slopes of the hills in Himalayan region are at high altitude and have low  

temperature or are snow covered. This does not allow much vegetation. In the southern part  

of the hills there are plains and valleys watered by rivers and with fertile soil and pleasant  

temperature levels all required for dense growth of vegetation.
