Short Note

Solution

  1. Terrace farming, animal rearing, and tourism are the types of human activities that might develop in this region.
  2.  
  • High latitudes are the regions away from the equator. The intensity of sunlight goes on decreasing as we move away from the equator towards the poles. The equatorial and tropical regions will have precipitation in the form of rainfall.
  • High altitude regions are the regions at an elevation from the mean sea level. In high altitude regions temperature decreases with an increase in height therefore they are covered by snow as precipitation is in the form of snowfall.
