Question

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

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

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 $150$-$400cm$ mean annual rainfall.
