Question

Formation of tropical forests needs mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation as

• A. $18$-$25^{\circ}C$ and $150$-$400 \,cm$
• B. $5$-$15^{\circ}C$ and $50$-$100 \,cm$
• C. $30$-$50^{\circ}C$ and $100$-$150 \,cm$
• D. $5$-$15^{\circ}C$ and $100$-$200\, cm$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Temperature and precipitation are generally most important climatic abiotic factors that influence the geographical distribution of plants. Average temperature decreases from equator to the poles. Precipitation^ ndudes rainfall, snow, dew, etc. Tropical forests, which are very productive, need $18$ to $25^{\circ}C$ mean annual temperature and $150$-$400\,cm$ mean annual rainfall.
