hard MCQ 4 marks Class 9 · Geography · Natural Vegetation and Wildlife
  1. A) 0–500 m
  2. B) 500–1000 m
  3. C) 1000–1500 m
  4. D) 1500–2000 m
Answer
B) 500–1000 m

The correct answer is B) 500–1000 m — Select option B.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Recall the altitudinal zonation of the Eastern Ghats: 0–500 m – moist deciduous, 500–1000 m – dry deciduous, 1000–1500 m – montane scrub, 1500–2000 m – montane forest.
  2. Identify teak (Tectona grandis) as a typical dominant species in dry deciduous forests.
  3. Match the zone containing teak with 500–1000 m.
  4. Select option B.
Common mistake: Assuming teak grows in moist deciduous zones

Concept tested: Altitude–vegetation relationship
