Which of the following are you more likely to have in temperate rainforests rather than tropical rainforests?a. insects
b. high annual rainfall
c. pine cones
d. limited ground vegetation

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is - c. pine cones.

The pine cones are a product of the pine trees, and these types of trees can only be found in more temperate and cold climates. The pine trees are highly evolved to long, snowy, harsh, cold winters, and that is because the places where they live (in the mid-latitudes) tend to have long and harsh winters.

On the other hand, a pine cone will not be found in the tropical rainforests simply because they are too hot and too humid for this type of highly specialized trees, so they would die out in that environment very quickly.
Answer 2
Answer: Tropical rainforest is distinguished by limited ground vegetation and temperate rainforest - not as much.

High annual rainfall can be found in both.
The correct answer is that pine cones would rather only be found in the the temperate rainforest - the answer is c)

When you travel, it is better to visit a currency exchange and have your foreign currency exchange into the local or national currency of the country you are visiting. Cash transactions will be easily done once local currency is used. You don't need to worry about the exchange rate every time you purchase a commodity.

2013: US$ 1 = 54.80 INR

$25 x 54.80 INR/$1 = 1,370 INR

2013: US$ 1 = 0.99 CAD

$25 x 0.99CAD/$1 = 24.75 CAD

It would be cheaper to buy products in South Africa than in European Union. This is because the US dollar has a higher value in South Africa than in the European Union.

It would be cheaper to buy the product in 2008 because the value of US dollars in India is lower compared to its value in 2013.
