Which of the following latitudinal range shows least diversity of birds ?
(A) 41°N
(B)
71°N
(C) 23,5°N
(D) 23,5°N​

Answer 1

Answer:

(c) 71

Explanation:

As we move towards the poles, diversity decreases.

Answer 2

option B) 71° N is the correct option

• Tropics (latitudinal range of 23.5°N to 23.5°S) harbour more species than temperate or polar areas.
• Example, Colombia located near the equator has around 1,400 species of birds, while New York at 41°N has 105 species and greenland at 71°N has only 56 species.
• Studies indicate that the tropical areas have more biodiversity.
