Discussion
Natural vegetation varies from place to place. Why do evergreen trees grow near equatorial region ?
Choose the appropriate reason from the following :
Answer: B
Evergreen trees grow near the equator because of heavy rainfall and high temperature.
The equatorial region is hot and receives heavy rainfall throughout the year. With no dry or cold season, trees never need to shed their leaves to conserve water, so the forests stay green all year round; these are the tropical evergreen (rain) forests.
Moderate temperature and rainfall support deciduous or mixed forests. Low rainfall with high temperature produces thorny bushes and desert vegetation, and low temperature with moderate rainfall suits coniferous forests, not equatorial evergreens.
