Q. Consider the following statements:- The southern mountain forests are found in the Western Ghats, the Vindhyas and the Nilgiris.
- As they are closer to the tropics, vegetation is temperate in the higher regions.
- The temperate forests are called Sholas in the Nilgiris, Anaimalai and Palani hills.
Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Answer:
None of the above
Notes: All statements are correct. The southern mountain forests are located in the Western Ghats, Vindhyas, and Nilgiris. The higher regions possess temperate vegetation due to altitude despite tropical proximity. In the Nilgiris, Anaimalai, and Palani hills, these temperate forests are indeed termed Sholas. Hence, none of the statements are incorrect.
