Consider the following statements about Mediterranean Vegetation
1.They are found in the West and South – West margins of the continents.
2.The weather is suitable for cultivation of Citrus Fruits.
3.It is a result of the shifting of pressure belts of the earth.
Which of the statements given above is/are true?
The west and south west margins of the continents have Mediterranean vegetation is mostly found in the areas around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, Africa and Asia, hence the name. So statement 1 is correct This kind of vegetation is also found outside the actual Mediterranean region in California in the USA, south west Africa, south western South America and South west Australia. These regions are marked for hot dry summers and mild rainy winters. Citrus fruits such as oranges, figs, olives and grapes are commonly cultivated here because people have removed the natural vegetation in order to cultivate what they want to. So statement 2 is correct. The typical biome results due to a shift in the pressure belts of the earth due tothe apparent movement of Sun between the two tropics.
