Tropical Evergreen Forests Location in India
Tropical evergreen forests are dense forests found in regions that receive heavy rainfall (typically over 200 cm annually) and have a short dry season. The trees in these forests remain green throughout the year because there is no specific season for shedding their leaves simultaneously.
In India, these forests are primarily found in:
- The Western Ghats (covering parts of states like Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu)
- The North-Eastern region (covering parts of states like Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura, and Mizoram)
- A small part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Let's examine the given options:
- Tamil Nadu: Tropical evergreen forests are found in the Western Ghats region within Tamil Nadu.
- Assam: Tropical evergreen forests are found in the North-Eastern part of India, including Assam.
- Madhya Pradesh: Madhya Pradesh mainly has tropical dry deciduous and moist deciduous forests, but generally lacks significant areas of tropical evergreen forests due to lower rainfall compared to the Western Ghats or the North-East.
Since tropical evergreen forests are found in both Tamil Nadu and Assam, more than one of the listed states has these forests.
