Tropical Hot Desert region experiences very less vegetation _____________.
Tropical Hot Desert region experiences very less vegetation _____________.
The correct option is C Both a and b
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.
