Question

Deciduous forests are also called as?

• A. Moist Forests
• B. Tropical Thorn Forests
• C. Monsoon forests
• D. Dry forests

Answer 1

The correct option is C Monsoon forests

The trees in deciduous forests tend to lose water through a process called transpiration. In the dry season, these trees prefer to shed their leaves and avoid loss of water through transpiration. This helps them to conserve water during the dry season. But, these leaves grow back during the moonsoon season. Thus, deciduous forests are also known as monsoon forests.
