Question : The forests which act as barriers against cyclones are:
Option 1: Alpine forest
Option 2: Mangrove forest
Option 3: Evergreen forest
Option 4: Monsoon forest
Correct Answer: Mangrove forest
Solution : The correct answer is Mangrove forest.
Mangrove forests are found in coastal regions at the ecotone of freshwater and Marine ecosystems. Plants found in mangrove forests have a specialised adaptation called pneumatophores, which help them to respire in saline conditions. Mangrove forests act as a barrier against cyclones, which reduces their intensity and safeguards the coastal communities.
