(iv) Compare and contrast the natural vegetation and equatorial region and Tundra region.
Answers
Answer:
The natural vegetation in the equatorial region is rich due to abundant rainfall and sun shine. The tundra region is cold thus, does not support an elaborate vegetation. The soil in the Equatorial region is rich in humus when compared to nutrient less soil in the tundra region. Tundra region is also characterised by snow fall.
Explanation:
There are three types of tundra: Arctic tundra, Antarctic tundra, and alpine tundra. In all of these types, the dominant vegetation is grasses, mosses, and lichens. Trees grow in some of the tundra. The ecotone (or ecological boundary region) between the tundra and the forest is known as the tree-line or timberline.
