Give a geographical reason:
Taiga region is not found in Southern Hemisphere.
टीपा लिहा
उत्तर
Taiga region is not found in Southern Hemisphere because -
- There is not much land at higher altitudes in the southern hemisphere (until inside the Antarctic circle) where it is permanently ice-covered.
- Most of the land is fairly close to oceans and thus tempered by marine warming.
- Whereas, Taiga is found throughout the high Northern latitudes between Tundra and the temperate forest, characterized by coniferous forests.
- The strong oceanic influence in the southern hemisphere reduces the severity of the winter, thus, affecting the temperature and precipitation.
