Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions that followThe climate of a coniferous forest depends upon where it is located. In general, the farther north the latitude, the cooler the climate. The presence of mountain ranges and oceans also affects the climate of an area. In Japan, for example, Siberian air masses bring severe winters to some forests, while other forests are influenced by warm ocean currents, and have a more tropical climate. The most severe climate is found in the boreal forest, or taiga, where temperatures are below freezing for more than half of the year. Winter temperatures range from -65° to 30°F (-54° to -1°C), and summer temperatures from 20° to 70°F (-7° to 21°C).However, because the taiga is a land of extremes, temperatures can drop as low as 76°F (-60°C) in winter or climb as high as 104° F (40°C) in summer. Most of the precipitation (rain, snow, or sleet) in the boreal forest comes from summer rain, which averages 12 to 33 inches (30 to 85 centimeters) per year.Mountain forests face cold, dry climates and high winds. The higher the elevation, the harsher the conditions. Scientists estimate that for every 300 feet (91 meters) in elevation, the temperature drops more than 1°F. On Alaskan mountains, temperatures in January average about 8°F (-13°C) and in July only 47° F (8° C). In general, northern hemisphere forests found on the northern side of mountains are shaded from the sun and the air is cooler. The forests receive more rainfall and have denser stands (groups) of trees and other plants. Forests on the southern side of mountains are drier, warmer and have less vegetation. The redwood and Pacific Northwestern forests have a climate that is moderated by the Pacific Ocean and the coastal mountain ranges. In the Olympic Rain Forest in Washington, for example, the temperature is always above freezing in winter and is seldom higher than 85°F (29°C) in summer. Up to 145 inches (368 centimeters) of rain fall annually. Answer the following (a) Do as directed Give the synonym of the following words : (1) Coniferous, (2) Trophical​

Answer 1

Answer:

Synonyms of the words from the passage are:

• Coniferous - boreal or taiga.
• Tropical - warm

Explanation:

• The northern Eurasian coniferous forest is called the taiga or the boreal forest.
• Both these terms are used to describe coniferous forest with its many lakes, bogs, and rivers.
• They are tall, softwood trees.
• Chir, pine, cedar etc are various trees in this forest.
• The boreal forest is the world's largest land biome.
