Solution
Dear student,
Tropical evergreen forests - Tropical evergreen forests are usually found in areas receiving more than 200 cm of rainfall and having a temperature of 15 °C to 30 °C.
- These tropical forests are dense, multi-layered and harbour many types of plants and animals.
- The trees are evergreen as there is no period of drought or frost.
- They are mostly tall hardwood trees with broad leaves that release excess water through transpiration. They have high humidity.
Deciduous forests - Deciduous forests are found in regions with a rainfall range of 100 to 200 cm.
- Average annual temperature is around 27 degrees centigrade.
- They are straight trees. Most of the deciduous forest has been destroyed to make room for farms and homes.
- Deciduous trees lose their leaves in fall.
- The natural decaying of the fallen leaves enriches the soil and supports all kinds of plant and animal life.
