A. Desert conditions and sand dunes
B. Tall trees and dense vegetation
C. Rainforests and high biodiversity
D. Permafrost and low-growing vegetation
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Tundra climates (Köppen ET) are characterized by permafrost (permanently frozen ground) and low-growing vegetation such as mosses, lichens, and shrubs. Trees are absent due to the short growing season.
Explanation:
A stationary front is the boundary between two air masses where neither is moving, often resulting in prolonged periods of cloudy, rainy weather.
Explanation:
Altocumulus is a middle-level cloud (between 2,000 and 6,000 meters) that appears as white or gray patches of rounded masses. It is often associated with fair weather but can indicate approaching storms.
Explanation:
Temperate rainforests are characterized by mild temperatures (rarely freezing) and abundant rainfall (over 2,000 mm per year), supporting dense forests with diverse species.
