Q1. The moist deciduous forests are not found in which of the following regions of India?
A Foothills of the Himalayas
B Northeastern states
C Eastern slopes of the Western Ghats
D Peninsular plateau Correct
Explanation
Moist deciduous forests grow where rainfall is fairly high but there is a short dry season. The Himalayan foothills, the northeastern states and the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats fit this broad distribution because they receive substantial monsoonal rainfall. The peninsular plateau, especially its interior parts, is generally drier and is more closely associated in school geography with dry deciduous and thorn-type vegetation. Therefore, among the given regions, the peninsular plateau is treated as the region where moist deciduous forests are not found.
