Q. The moist deciduous forests are not found in which of the following regions of India?
(A) Northeastern States
(B) Eastern slopes of the Western Ghats
(C) Peninsular plateau
(D) Foothills of Himalayas
(E) Question not attempted
Answer: D
In the higher reaches of the Himalayas, the climate is too cold and the growing season too short for moist deciduous trees. These areas are dominated by coniferous forests (like pine, fir) or alpine meadows at even higher elevations.
The Eastern Slope of Western Ghats is on the leeward side and receives a low amount of rainfall. Hence, this site has mostly Tropical Moist Deciduous forests.
