Solution
Types of forests: 1 Mark each.
There are three types of forests - tropical forests, temperate forests and boreal forests.
Tropical forests, also known as rainforests, are the forests which exist between the equator and the two tropics. The temperature in these forests is moderate (20oC to 34oC). They receive rainfall throughout the year. Different types of flora and fauna exist in these forests.
Temperate forests exist in Northeast Asia, North America, and Central Europe. Temperature ranges between -30oC to 30oC. Rainfall is received throughout the year. Summer season is demarcated from the winter season. The trees that grow here are deciduous.
Boreal forests, also known as Taiga forests, are scattered over many places including China, Canada, Russia, Northern Japan etc. They exist in cold regions ( -50oC to 30oC) and have coniferous trees.
