The Thorn Forests are found in the semi-arid areas of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
The Thorn Forests and Scrubs are found in regions where the rainfall is less than 70cm.
The vegetation in these forests are thorny trees and bushes.
Acacias, palms, euphorbias and cacti are the main plants found in these forests.
Trees are scattered and have long roots penetrating deep into the soil in order to get moisture.
The stems are succulent to conserve water
Leaves are modified into spines (thorns) and are small to minimize transpiration.

Sushant Gupta answered |
Sedimentary rocks are the rocks that are formed by the accumulation and deposition of sediments. These sediments could be organic or inorganic in nature. Sedimentary rocks are also known as fossil rocks because they contain fossils of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.
Explanation:
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the following process:
1. Weathering: The process of breaking down of rocks into smaller particles by physical, chemical, and biological means is called weathering.
2. Erosion: The process of transportation of these smaller particles by wind, water, or ice is called erosion.
3. Deposition: The process of settling down of these transported particles is called deposition.
4. Compaction: The process of squeezing the sediments together due to the weight of the overlying sediments is called compaction.
5. Cementation: The process of binding the sediments together by minerals like silica, calcite, or iron oxide is called cementation.
Sedimentary rocks are classified into three types:
1. Clastic sedimentary rocks: These are formed by the accumulation of rock fragments or sediments that have been transported and deposited by wind, water, or ice.
2. Chemical sedimentary rocks: These are formed by the precipitation of minerals from water that has evaporated or through chemical reactions between minerals in solution.
3. Organic sedimentary rocks: These are formed from the accumulation of organic matter, such as plant and animal remains, that have been buried and compressed over millions of years.
Sedimentary rocks are important because they provide clues about the Earth's history and the conditions that existed when they were formed. They also contain valuable resources like coal, oil, and gas.

Ishaan Chatterjee answered |
A wide diversity of mammals, birds, insects, and reptiles can be found in a deciduous forest biome. A biome can be described as a large, naturally occurring community of plants and animals inhabiting a major habitat.
In India, Lion, tiger, pig, deer, and elephant are some of the animals that make these forests their homes.
Outside India, in the United States, mammals that are generally found in a deciduous forest include bears, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, wood mice and even deer.
In North America, birds like broad-winged hawks, cardinals, snowy owls, and pileated woodpeckers are found in this biome.
Mammals in the North American moderate deciduous forests include white-tailed deer, raccoons, opossums, porcupines and red foxes.

Main Function of the Hydrosphere
The main function of the hydrosphere is to support aquatic life. This vast system of water bodies, including oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water, plays a crucial role in sustaining various forms of life on Earth.
Supporting Aquatic Life
- The hydrosphere provides a habitat for countless marine organisms, from tiny plankton to massive whales.
- It offers essential resources such as food, shelter, and breeding grounds for aquatic species.
- Water bodies in the hydrosphere also support diverse ecosystems, including coral reefs, mangroves, and wetlands, which are home to a wide range of plants and animals.
Regulating Ecosystems
- The hydrosphere regulates nutrient cycling, oxygen levels, and temperature in aquatic environments, ensuring the survival of organisms.
- It also plays a crucial role in filtering pollutants and maintaining water quality for aquatic life.
Climate Regulation
- The hydrosphere influences climate patterns through processes like evaporation, precipitation, and ocean currents.
- Oceans act as heat sinks, absorbing and releasing heat, which helps regulate global temperatures.
Human Dependence
- Humans rely on the hydrosphere for various purposes, including drinking water, agriculture, transportation, and recreation.
- The hydrosphere also supports industries such as fishing, tourism, and shipping, which contribute to the economy.
In conclusion, the hydrosphere is essential for supporting aquatic life, regulating ecosystems, influencing climate patterns, and meeting human needs. Its health and sustainability are crucial for the well-being of all living organisms on Earth.

Sanjana Kumar answered |
Exogenic (A.K.A. exogenetic) refers to external processes and phenomena that occur on or above the surface of the earth. Comet and meteoroid impacts, the tidal force of the moon and the radiation from the sun are all exogenic. Weathering effects and erosion are also exogenic processes. Exogenic forces are mainly driven by solar energy and gravitational energy. Weathering, mass movements, erosion and deposition are exogenous processes. Running water, wind, snow and waves are agents in exogenous processes and these agents are also known as “Geomorphic agents”.Some other examples of exogenous process are rainfall, snowfall, hailstorm, erosion ,tsunamis, avalanches, winds, wave currents etc. hence,valcono is not a Exogenic force.
