    Which of these trees are not found at the altitude of 3600 meters above sea level?
    Solution
    Temperate coniferous forests is succeeded by Alpine Forests which is found generally at altitudes between 2750 to 3600 meters above sea level. These forests are covered with species like silver firs, pines, birches and junipers. Above 3600 meters above sea level, Alpine Forests give way to Alpine Grasslands. Apple trees are not found at the altitude of 3600 meters above sea level.

    Solution
    The Sivalik Hills, also known as Churia Hills, are a mountain range of the outer Himalayas that stretches from the Indus River about 2,400 km (1,500 mi) eastwards close to the Brahmaputra River. The South Western Ghats moist deciduous forests is a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion of southern India. It covers the southern portion of the Western Ghats range and the Nilgiri Hills between 250 and 1000 meters elevation in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states.ropical Deciduous ForestsThis forest can be classified into two broad categories:(Moist Deciduous Forests)They encompass a mixture of trees and grass.They receive moderate rainfall, averaging to 100 cm to 200 cm per year with the average temperature 27-degree Celcius and the humidity level approximating to a 65-75 percent.They grew plentifully in the Western Ghats (on the eastern sides), the Chota Nagpur plateau as well as the Shivalik mountain range.

    Which soils are adequate in phosphoric contents?
    Solution
    Alluvium soil is formed by the sediments brought down by rivers. Chemical properties of Alluvial Soils
    • The proportion of nitrogen is generally low.
    • The proportion of Potash, phosphoric acid and alkalies are adequate
    • The proportion of Iron oxide and lime vary within a wide range.
    Chemical Composition of Black Soils( rugar)
    • 10 per cent of alumina,
    • 9-10 per cent of iron oxide,
    • 6-8 per cent of lime and magnesium carbonates,
    • Potash is variable (less than 0.5 per cent) and
    • phosphates, nitrogen and humus are low.
    Moreover about red and Laterite soils they also have low amount of phosphorous .

  • Question 16
    1 / -0
    Khadar is a local name of which soils?
    Solution
    Khadar is a local name New alluvial soils.Alluvial soil is of two types - old alluvium known as bangar, and (ii) new alluvium called khadar. It is the most important type of soil found in the country as it covers about 40% of the total land. It is found in the northern plains beginning from Punjab to West Bengal and Assam.
    Khadir or Khadar, also called Nali or Naili,are low-lying areas that are floodplains of a river which is usually relatively narrower compared to unflooded bangar area.Khadar areas are prone to flooding and sometimes include portions of former river-beds that became available for agriculture when a river changes course. It is moisture retentive and sticky when wet.Khadir soil consists of new alluvial soil relatively higher in new silt content from the river, gets replenished with each flooding cycle,and is often very fertile.
  • Question 17
    1 / -0
    Which soils are well known for their capacity to hold moisture?
    Solution
    Alluvium is soil or sediments deposited by a river or other running water. Alluvium is typically made up of a variety of materials, like fine particles of silt and clay and larger particles of sand and gravel.Among all the soils present alluvial soil is well known for its capacity to hold moisture.
  • Question 18
    1 / -0
    Black Soils are confined to which region?
    Solution
    Deccan Plateau is made up of lava, due to the volcanic fissure erruption. The soil in this area is the weathered form of this lava rocks only. Because of this reason , soil in this area is called black soil. Therefore , the black soil is mainly found in Deccan Trap Region.
  • Question 19
    1 / -0
    Which soils have developed old crystalline rocks under moderate to heavy rainfall conditions?
    Solution
    The Red soil have developed old crystalline rocks under moderate to heavy rainfall conditions . It develops in a warm, temperate, moist climate under deciduous or mixed forest, having thin organic and organic-mineral layers overlying a yellowish-brown leached layer resting on an illuvium red layer. They requires low moisture content in the soil and is less fertile when compared to other soil that is why they are well suited for farming.
  • Question 20
    1 / -0
    Which soils are poor and support only pastures and scrub forests?
    Solution
    Laterite is a soil and rock type rich in iron and aluminium and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Laterite soils lack fertility due to intensive leaching. When manured and irrigated, some laterites are suitable for growing plantation crops like tea, coffee, rubber, cinchona, coconut, arecanut, etc that is why these soils support only grazing grounds and scrub forests.
  • Question 21
    1 / -0
    The Rann of Kachchh is famous for which animal?
