Question

Plants grow sparsely in arid regions of the world

• A. Only because of high temperature
• B. Because no seeds fall on their soil
• C. Because of several factors combining together
• D. Because the soil is sandy

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Because of several factors combining together

The growth of plants in arid region is sparse. The reason is that the plants have adapted to these regions. They have developed specialised structures which helps in reduction of the transpiration rate. These regions have less amount of water in the soil. The temperature is very high and so, the level of vegetation is low.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
