Question

Write brief note on the vegetation and climate of a mountainous region.also mention about the various animals found there.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The northeast region of India supports almost all types of vegetation from cultivated plains to grasslands, meadows, marshes, swamps, scrub-forests, tropical forests, temperate forests and alpine vegetation.

Answer 2

The temperature in mountains will dramatically change from one hour to another. A thunder storm, for example, will come in just a few minutes when it is completely clear, and temperatures from extremely warm temperatures to temperatures below zero in just a few hours. The mountain climate varies according to which altitude you are up the mountain (how high). The tropical climate can exist on the foothills (near the bottom), while the summits (the top of the mountains) might be covered in ice. The highest mountain level is often bare rock and snow. Good examples of this are Nepal, the Himalayas and other mountain regions such as the Rockies or the Andes. Vegetation growth depends on precipitation and temperature. The vegetation on the lower slopes depends mainly on the mountain's climate zone. In big forests, the foothills can be protected. These change to needles like spruces and pines on top slopes (higher altitudes). They are called needles (coniferous trees).

Explanation:

• Mountain vegetation is found on the mountains at higher altitudes (heights). This type of vegetation varies by height and temperature. As the altitude  increases, the temperature decreases Thus the coniferous forests are conical trees at a higher altitude. Chir, pine and deodar  are some of the major species.
• Vegetation growth depends on precipitation and temperature. On the lower slopes the vegetation depends in large part on the mountain's climate zone. The foothills may be covered in broadleaved forests.. They turn into spruce-and pine trees at high slope (higher altitudes). These convert into needle-leaf trees.
• When you climb up a mountain, the colder it gets and the trees thin out. It is called a timberline when it becomes too cold for plants. Highest mountain areas are only resistant to sparsely grasped grass and low-growing alpine flowers.
• If the mountain is high enough even this vegetation disappears and the peak is bare rock and perhaps covered in snow and ice.
• Mountain climates differ from those of the surrounding lowlands because they deviate from their characteristics, and atmospheric rarefaction is the one common basis for this difference. In fact, variations in latitude, height and access to the sun create great diversity. There is therefore no single mountain climate, clearly defined.
• Less pressure, lower availability of oxygen, lower temperature and increased isolation are the most typical climatic effects of high elevation; the last 2 combine to create a typical' hot sun and cold shadow ' state.
• the wind side of a mountain fence, the rain becomes heavier than at the leeward side (orography), and on the wind side the precipitation rises upwards to the maximum area and then decreases again.
• Animals in the mountainous region include big horn sheep, mountain goats,  black bear, borwn bear, grizzly bear, antelope and mountain lions
• Mountain life could be very difficult for species. There is little food and a very cold climate. Most animals adapted for the bitter cold to survive. Mountain animal life varies from one continent to the next.
