Question

Which type of vegetation is seen in heavy rainfall regions?
 A. Tropical evergreen forests
 B. Fruit-bearing trees
 C. Sandalwood
 D. Casuarina trees

Answer 1

Hint: Areas that receive precipitation greater than 7.6 mm per hour, or between 10 mm and 50 mm per hour account for the regions with heavy rainfall. These regions experience precipitation all year long. These areas are also called rainforests. Some important plant species in these regions are Mahogany, rosewood, ebony, etc.

Complete answer:
Tropical evergreen forests: The type of vegetation that is found in areas of heavy rainfall are tropical evergreen forests. Due to the heavy rainfall in these areas, these trees do not experience the shedding of leaves. They are thick, dense, and grow very close to each other. Areas where tropical evergreen forests are Western ghats, Karnataka, and even Kerala. These forests are characterized by rich fauna too, like owls, hawks, possums, etc.
Fruit-bearing trees: These are the trees that bear fruits that are eaten by humans and some animals. The climate of these trees depends from region to region. Some examples of fruit-bearing trees are olives, orange, mango, etc.
Sandalwood: Sandalwood trees are typically native to the dry deciduous forests. These regions are found in some parts of the Deccan Plateau and some parts of Eastern Ghats. The rainfall in these places is 70 to 100 cm. The Mysore region in India is very famous for its sandalwood.
Casuarina: Casuarina is a deciduous tree that grows in coastal regions, sand beaches, and arid sandplains. It is also known as she-oak. These trees are native to Southeast Asia, Northern Australia, East Timor, etc. In India, they are non-native and can be found in Digha, West Bengal.
So, the correct answer is Option A.

Note: Regions with evergreen forests are very hot. Due to the heavy rainfall, almost all types of shrubs, creepers, and trees are found here. They are rich both in flora and fauna.
