- You have learnt that most of the east and north east margins of the continents are covered by temperate evergreen and deciduous trees.
- The west and south west margins of the continents are different.
- They have Mediterranean vegetation.
- Mediterranean trees adapt themselves to dry summers with the help of their thick barks and wax coated leaves which help them reduce transpiration.
- This is mostly found in the areas around the Mediterranean sea in Europe, Africa and Asia hence, the name.
→ This kind of vegetation is also found outside the actual Mediterranean Region in California in the USA, south west Africa, south western band south America and south west Australia.
→ These regions are marked for hot dry summers and mild rainy winters.
→ Citrus fruits such as oranges, figs, olives and grapes are commonly cultivated here because people have removed the natural vegetation in order to take up agriculture.
→ There isn't much wildlife here.
