Which of the following vegetation types is found only in the Northern hemisphere?
Answer Details
The vegetation type that is found only in the Northern hemisphere is the Tundra.
Tundra is a type of biome that is found in areas with very low temperatures, usually in the Arctic regions. It is characterized by very cold winters, short summers, and a layer of permafrost (permanently frozen soil) underneath the ground. The vegetation in the tundra is usually made up of low-growing shrubs, mosses, and lichens, since the cold temperatures and permafrost make it difficult for larger plants to grow.
On the other hand, tropical grasslands and equatorial forests are found in tropical regions, both in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Mediterranean vegetation, also known as scrubland or chaparral, is found in areas with a Mediterranean climate, which can be found in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
