Biodiversity Conservation And Wild Life Question 16
Degree of biodiversity increases from pole to equator:
Options:
A) Equator to poles.
B) Equator to polar
C) Low latitude to high latitude
D) Low altitude to high altitude
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Species diversity increases as one proceeds from high altitude to low altitude and high latitude to low latitude.
The temperature and seasonal variability increase with increased altitude and decreased latitude. Hence, this results in higher species diversity in these areas.
Thus, the correct answer is ‘High altitude to low altitude and high latitude to low latitude.’
