Gce Model Questions Vol1 2017 Geography Question 26
Practice objective / multiple choice question 26 from the 2017 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
A region receives an average annual rainfall of 1200 mm and a mean annual temperature of 22 °C. For a simple biome index, potential evapotranspiration (PET) can be approximated by \(PET = 20 \times T\) (mm), where \(T\) is the mean temperature in °C. The moisture index \(M\) is defined as \(M = \frac{R}{PET}\), where \(R\) is rainfall. If \(M > 2\) the vegetation is classified as tropical rainforest; if \(1.5 < M \le 2\) as tropical seasonal forest; if \(0.5 < M \le 1.5\) as tropical savanna; otherwise desert. Determine the vegetation type of the region.
