Question

Now can you tell why Salima saw changes in the natural vegetation as she climbed higher and higher? What type of vegetation did she see in the Himalayas starting with the foothills and going to the higher altitudes?

Answer 1

Salima saw changes in the natural vegetation as she climbed higher and higher due to change in altitude, and related climatic conditions such as temperature, precipitation, low air density along with change in soil form. 

At the foothills, Salima saw deep jungles of Sal and Teak. As she climbed higher, she could see coniferous trees such as Pines on the mountain slopes. And at higher altitudes, she found land was covered with short grass and snow.
