Tropical rainforests are mainly NOT found in which of the following regions
उष्णकटिबंधीय वर्षावन मुख्यतः निम्नलिखित में से किस क्षेत्र में नहीं पाए जाते हैं?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar / मध्य प्रदेश, उत्तर प्रदेश और बिहार
📘 Explanation / व्याख्या:
Tropical rainforests (also called Tropical Evergreen Forests) are found in areas with:
-
High rainfall (above 200 cm annually)
-
High temperature throughout the year
-
High humidity
In India, such conditions are mainly found in:
-
Andaman and Nicobar Islands
-
Northeastern states (Assam, Meghalaya, etc.)
-
Western slopes of the Western Ghats
However, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar mostly have tropical deciduous forests (monsoon forests), not tropical rainforests. Rainfall in these states is comparatively lower and seasonal.
उष्णकटिबंधीय वर्षावन (Tropical Evergreen Forests) उन क्षेत्रों में पाए जाते हैं जहाँ:
-
वर्षा 200 सेमी से अधिक हो
-
वर्ष भर उच्च तापमान रहे
-
अधिक आर्द्रता (Humidity) हो
भारत में ये वन मुख्यतः पाए जाते हैं:
-
अंडमान और निकोबार द्वीप समूह
-
उत्तर-पूर्वी राज्य
-
पश्चिमी घाटों की पश्चिमी ढाल
लेकिन मध्य प्रदेश, उत्तर प्रदेश और बिहार में मुख्य रूप से उष्णकटिबंधीय पर्णपाती वन (Monsoon Forests) पाए जाते हैं, क्योंकि यहाँ वर्षा कम और मौसमी होती है।

📌 Quick Revision Trick:
-
🌧 200+ cm rainfall → Evergreen Forest
-
🌦 100–200 cm rainfall → Deciduous Forest
-
✅ Andaman, NE States, Western Ghats → Rainforest
-
❌ MP, UP, Bihar → Deciduous Forest
