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.

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.

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.

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.

Shilpa Das answered |
The Kolkata port Trust is a riverine port in the city of Kolkata, India, located around 203 kilometres (126 mi) from the sea. It is the oldest operating port in India and was constructed by the British East India Company.
The Port has two distinct dock systems - Kolkata Docks at Kolkata and a deep water dock at Haldia Dock Complex, Haldia.
In the 19th century, the Kolkata Port was the premier port in British India. After slavery was abolished in 1833, there was a high demand for laborers on sugar cane plantations in the British Empire. From 1838 to 1917, the British used this port to ship off over half a million Indians from all over India — mostly from the Bhojpuri Belt, Bengal, and Tamil Nadu — and take them to places across the world, such as Mauritius, Guyana, Suriname, Fiji, Belize, and the Caribbean Islands as indentured laborers. This explains the Indian Diaspora reaching as far as South America and the West Indies. There are millions of Indo-Mauritian, Indo-Fijian, Indo-Caribbean, Indo-Guyanese, Indo-Surinamese, and Indo-Belizean people in the world today. After independence, the port's importance decreased because of factors including the Partition of Bengal (1905), reduction in size of the port hinterland, and economic stagnation in eastern India.
