Correct Answer - Option 1 : Mountain region
Sensitive ecosystems:
- Sensitive ecosystems are often the remnants of the natural ecosystems that once occupied a much larger area and are increasingly important as human activities change the landscape.
- They are ecologically sensitive, fragile and or rare in the landscape.
- These areas also have significant biodiversity values and provide many habitat features required by threatened and endangered plant and animal species.
Natural catastrophe: It is an unexpected event caused by nature such as an earthquake or flood, in which there is a lot of suffering, damage, or death.
Extreme weather: It is a weather event such as snow, rain, drought, flood, or storm that is rare for the place where it occurs.
Mountain regions: They are characterized by sensitive ecosystems, enhanced occurrences of extreme weather events and natural catastrophes; they are also regions of conflicting interests between economic development and environmental conservation.
Evergreen Forests:
- It is a forest in which there is no complete, seasonal loss of leaves (i.e. trees shed old leaves and produce new ones throughout the year, rather than during particular periods).
- The trees may be conifers or hardwoods. The distribution of these forests ranges through boreal, middle, and tropical latitudes.
- The northern coniferous forests and the equatorial rain forests (see tropical rain forests) are the most extensive evergreen forests.
Tropical region: The tropical regions are the regions of the Earth near the equator and between the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere and the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere. This tropical region is also referred to as the tropical zone or the torrid zone.
Tundra Region: Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found in the Arctic and on the tops of mountains, where the climate is cold and windy, and rainfall is scant. Tundra lands are covered with snow for much of the year, but summer brings bursts of wildflowers.
