Which one of the following National Parks has a climate that varies from tropical to subtropical, temperate and arctic?
- AKhangchendzonga National Park
- BNandadevi National Park
- CNeora Valley National Park
- DNamdapha National ParkCorrect
Explanation
Namdapha National Park, located in Arunachal Pradesh, India, is renowned for its exceptional biodiversity and unique altitudinal variations. Its elevation ranges from 200 meters to over 4,500 meters above sea level. This vast altitudinal gradient results in a climatic spectrum that astonishingly varies from tropical (at lower altitudes) to subtropical, temperate, and even alpine/arctic conditions (at higher altitudes). This unique characteristic allows it to support an incredible diversity of flora and fauna, making it a hotspot of biodiversity.
While other national parks listed (Khangchendzonga, Nandadevi, Neora Valley) are also in mountainous regions and exhibit varied climates, Namdapha is particularly known for encompassing such a broad range from tropical to arctic within its boundaries due to its specific geographical location and extreme elevation differences.
