Question

A slope struck by a low sun angle has relatively low evaporation and thus supports a relatively luxuriant vegetation growth and is known as a(n)_________ slope.

a. adret
b. ubac (shaded)
c. windward
d. leeward
e. selva

Answer 1

B. Ubac

Step-by-step explanation:

The ubac slope typically can be found on part of the mountain which had around 40 degree slope.

The low sun angle provide little sun light compared to the top of the mountain, but still enough for the plants to conduct photosynthesis. The low evaporation makes the plants on this area able to sustain enough water within their soil. The combination of the two us the reason why Ubac managed to sustain a relatively luxuriant vegetation growth.
