meters, just below areas which are always covered with snow, Alpine meadows with grasses and shrubs are

found except trees.

Ans: Lack of forests would lead to many problems such as:

(a) Most forms of wildlife would not be able to exist

(c) Lessening of rainfall in many areas of the country

(d) Soil erosion due to lack of trees which help in binding the soil firmly
