Describe the environmental characteristics of high altitude land in brief. |
|
Answer» Highlands are the symbol of mountainous environment. Temperature is found to be less in high mountainous regions, because along with increase in height, temperature continues to decline. Snow is also present at places of extreme height. Mountainous regions are the origin place of rivers. Due to steep slope, rivers flow here at extreme velocity and form waterfalls in their way. There is absence of leveled land in mountainous regions. People build their houses in parts with lesser slope. Mountainous slopes are cut to form terrace-shaped farms on which, vegetables in lesser amount and tea and fruit plantations are found. Agricultural work is almost negligible in high mountainous regions, so the residents of these regions are engaged in occupations associated with forestry and animal husbandry. |
