Biodiversity Conservation And Wild Life Question 16
Question: Degree of biodiversity increases from:
Options:
A) Equator to poles
B) Polar to equator
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 increases 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.’
