Question

Which forest is known for large scale lumbering?

• A. Equatorial forests
• B. Mixed forests
• C. Coniferous forests
• D. Monsoon forests

Answer 1

The correct option is C Coniferous forests

• Lumbering refers to cutting and transporting the cut trees for economic and industrial use. Coniferous forests are most suitable for lumbering as they are softwood trees which are easy to cut. Also, they have long straight logs of wood fit for economic uses.
• Equatorial, mixed and monsoon forests are also used for economic purposes, but to a little extent only as compared with coniferous forests
• Hence option C is correct.
