National Parks
Which one of the following National Parks has a climate that varies from tropical to subtropical, temperate and arctic?
B.Nandadevi National Park
C.Neora Valley National Park
D.Namdapha National park
A.Khangchendzonga National park
Correct Answer: Option D
Namdapha National Park, located in Arunachal Pradesh, is the largest protected area in the Eastern Himalaya biodiversity hotspot.
Its climate varies significantly with altitude, encompassing:
- Tropical moist forests at lower elevations.
- Montane and temperate forests at mid-elevations.
- Alpine meadows and perennial snow at higher elevations.
This wide range of altitudes results in a climate that transitions from tropical to subtropical, temperate, and arctic.
Khangchendzonga and Nandadevi National Parks do not exhibit tropical vegetation.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
