The steepness of slopes on a volcanic mountain is determined primarily by: the relative amounts of pyroclastic debris and lava erupted from the volcanic vent. the initial temperature of the lava. the amount of rainfall in the area. the force with which the magma is pushed upward. none of these.
The South Asia subregion spans seven countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka).[39] The areas of these countries vary from 30 000 ha (Maldives) to 297 319 000 ha (India).his subregion has a negative rate (0.13 percent per annum) of forest cover change, which is roughly double the negative rate of change for the Asia region (0.07 percent per annum) but is roughly half the negative rate (0.22 percent per annum) of change for the world (Table 23-1).
The Climate of India comprises a wide range of weather conditions across a vast geographic scale and varied topography, making generalisations difficult. Based on the KÃ¶ppen system, India hosts six major climatic subtypes, ranging from arid desert in the west, alpine tundra and glaciers in the north, and humid tropical regions supporting rainforests in the southwest and the island territories. Many regions have starkly different microclimates. The nation has four seasons: winter, summer, a ...
