Question

Grasslands with scattered trees is
A. Savannah
B. Deciduous forest
C. Evergreen forest
D. Tropical rainforest

Answer 1

Hint: Grasslands are regions, which are densely covered with grasses and not with trees, unlike forests. Grasslands are found in areas where not enough rainfall occurs.

Complete answer:
Grasslands are large areas covered with a continuous spread of grasses. The area is encrusted with grass or short plants only. Hardly we found very few tall plants like trees in such areas. There are 5 types of grasslands: Tropical, Flooded, Desert, Temperate and Montane.
Now we will consider all the options to find the correct option among them.
-In option A, Savannah is referred to as a grassland ecosystem. It contains trees widely spread over large areas, making it the correct answer. Africa is the most popular continent for savannahs. Savannahs are of varying nature depending on various climatic conditions. Tropical, temperate, mediterranean, flooded and montane are different types of savannahs.
-In option B, deciduous forests are mentioned. These forests have trees that shed their leaves seasonally. The trees have broad leaves. They are found in regions that have cool winters and humid summers.
-In option C, evergreen forests are mentioned. These forests are known for their greenery. These forests remain green throughout the year. These forests remain tremendous amounts of rainfall. They are very dense forests and are considered to be the home of thousands of species of plants as well as some tribal populations.
-In option D, the tropical rainforest is mentioned. Rainforests in tropical regions experience an average of 60 mm rainfall in all months. The climate is moist and there is as such no dry season. These forests are also called lowland equatorial evergreen forests.
-The forests are a region covered thickly with trees; they will not fall in the category of grasslands. This nullifies options B, C, and D.
Hence option A is correct.

Note: The forests are important for human existence. They provide us wood, gum, raisins, pulp, etc. not only to humans but animals also depend on forests for habitat and other needs. Europe is the continent with maximum forest cover, accounting for 1,005 million hectares and Oceania the least with only 191 million hectares. However, with each passing year, we have encountered that the forest cover is decreasing therefore a major issue to be treated urgently.
