3. Natural vegetation
Natural vegetation can be classified into three
broad categories as follows :-
forest Grassland
shrubs

4. forest
Which grow where temperature and rainfall are
plentiful to support a tree cover. Depending upon
these factors, dense and open forests are grown.

5. GRASSLANDS
GRASSLAND: WHICH GROW IN THE REGION OF
MODERATE RAIN.

6. SHRUBS
THORNY SHRUBS AND
SCRUBS GROW IN THE
DRY REGION.

8. Also called tropical
rainforests
These thick forests occur in
the regions near the equator
and close to the tropics
these trees do not shed their
leaves altogether therefore
they are called evergreen
Hardwood trees like
rosewood, ebony, mahogany
are common here

12. Mediterranean Vegetation
•West and south west margins
of the continents have
Mediterranean vegetation.
•It is mostly found in the areas
around the Mediterranean sea
in Europe, Africa and Asia,
hence the name
•Also found in California in the
USA, south west Africa, south
western South America and
South west Australia .
•Citrus fruits such as oranges,
figs, olives and grapes are
commonly cultivated here.
•There isn’t much wildlife here.

14. grasslands

15. Tropical grasslands
•These occur on either side
of the equator and extend till
the tropics
•This vegetation grows inthe
areas of moderate to low
amount of rainfall.
•The grass can grow very
tall, about 3 to 4 metresin
height. Savannah grasslands
of Africa are of this type.
Elephants, zebras, giraffes,
deer, leopards are common
in tropical grasslands

16. Temperate grasslands

18. Thorny bushes
•These are found in the
dry desert like regions.
•Tropical deserts are
located on the western
margins of the
continents.
•The vegetation cover is
scarce here because of
scanty rain and
scorching heat.

19. Tundra
•The polar region are extremely cold.
The growth of natural vegetation is
very limited here. Only mosses,
lichens and very small shrubs are
found here.
•It grows during the very short
summer. This vegetation is found in
the polar areas of Europe, Asia and
North America.
•The animals have thick fur and thick
skin to protect themselves from the
cold climatic conditions.
•Seal, walruses, musk-oxen, Arctic owl,
Polar bear and snow foxes are some
of the animals found here.
