Question 5(b)

Name the type of forests found in the western part of the Western Ghats. Give two reasons why these forests are so named.

Answer

Tropical Evergreen forests are found in the western part of the Western Ghats. They are named so because they remain green throughout the year as they do not have any particular season to shed their leaves and also because they grow in the regions receiving annual rainfall of more than 200 cm.
