Concept Explanation
 

Relief Land and Soil

Relief Land and Soil: It includes land and soil.

Land: It affects the natural vegetation both directly and indirectly. The nature of the land i.e. whether it is plain, hilly or a plateau, determines the kind of vegetation will grow in it. Fertile lands are used for growing crops, vegetables and fruits. Undulating (Wavy) and rough surfaces generally develop either into grasslands or woodlands (forests). Different types of land accordingly sustain and provide shelter to different kinds of wildlife.

Soil: The soils also vary place to place. Different kinds of soils provide different kinds of vegetation. For example, alluvial or deltic soil of a river delta near the sea will sustain mangrove forests while slopes of hills have conical trees. The sandy soils of desert sustain horny bushes.

 Note Animals and birds also inhabit locations based on relief For example migratory birds like the Siberian cranes and flamirigoes are found to nest in the wetlands of the Rann of Kuchchh, where he desert merges with the sea
