Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Tropical Hot Desert Climate is experienced in the Thar desert of India, Sahara Desert and Part of Iran and Arabia.

The tropical desert is an environment of extremes: it is the driest and hottest place on earth. Rainfall is sporadic and in some years no measurable precipitation falls at all. The terribly dry conditions of the deserts is due to the year-round influence of subtropical high pressure and continentality.

The flower with the world's largest bloom is the Rafflesia arnoldii. This rare flower is found in the rainforests of Indonesia. It can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds! It is a parasitic plant, with no visible leaves, roots, or stem. It attaches itself to a host plant to obtain water and nutrients. When in bloom, the Rafflesia emits a repulsive odor, similar to that of rotting meat. This odor attracts insects that pollinate the plant.

asia : climate, natural vegetation and wildlife climate and natural vegetation of asia asia asia and europe geography

  1. because of harsh climate

  2. because of  little rainfall

  3. Both a and b

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Both a and b


There is very little vegetation within the desert due to the lack of rainfall. Vegetation will be very sparse and plants will cluster in areas where the growing conditions are slightly better.

Vegetation found within deserts is highly adapted to the extreme conditions found in these locations. Many plants are low-growing so that they can avoid water loss as their surface area is smaller. They also have small thick leaves or needles, like cacti, this means that less water is lost through evapotranspiration. Cacti also have a thick stem which can be used to store water, they can expand and store water during times of rainfall. Many plants also have long roots which travel horizontally to reach the maximum surface areas for water to find any surface moisture.

Primates are a group of animals that include humans, great apes, and monkeys. Central and South America has howler, spider, capuchin and squirrel monkeys, while Africa has vervet monkeys, baboons, chimpanzees and gorillas. Madagascar is the unique home of lemurs, and Asia has proboscis monkeys, macaque monkeys, langurs, gibbons and orangutans.

The grasslands of the northern and southern hemispheres experience different climates.

asia : climate, natural vegetation and wildlife climate and natural vegetation of asia asia asia and europe geography

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Yes.
The biggest factor in differences in the climate in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres has to do with the distribution of land vs. ocean. The Northern Hemisphere has much more of Earth’s land masses, while the Southern Hemisphere has a larger fraction of ocean.

There is more than one reason this is important. First, land and ocean heat and cool at different rates. Land heats up and cools down much faster (over a period of a day) compared with ocean (over a period of months).

Steppes or Temperate Grassland climate is found around the ___________.

asia : climate, natural vegetation and wildlife climate and natural vegetation of asia asia asia and europe geography

  1. Caspian Sea in Western Asia

  2. Caspian Sea in Eastern Asia

  3. Caspian Sea in South Asia

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Steppes or Temperate Grassland climate is found around the Caspian sea in Western Asia.
Grasslands (steppes) are temperate environments, with warm to hot summers and cool to very cold winters; temperatures are often extreme in these midcontinental areas. They are often located between temperate forests and deserts, and annual precipitation falls between the amounts characteristic of those zones.
