Tropics (`23.5^(@)N` to `23.5^(@)S`) have________species as compared to temperature or polar regions.
(a) less
(b) equal
(c) more
(d) none of these

A

less

B

equal

C

more

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Biodiversity is affected by latitudinal gradients.
Tropics `(23.5^(@)N` to `23.5^(@)S)` have more species than temperature or polar regions. For example, Columbia located near the equator has `1400` species of birds, while New York `(41^(@)N)` has 105 species and Greenland `(71^(@)N)` has only `56` species.
