Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

In the European West there are three sub-zones. In the northern portion, agriculture is limited
and the vegetation is dominated by forests. Throughout Belarus central portions of
European Russia, there are longer growing seasons, but soils are more acidic. To the south,
the best agricultural regions are found; here, also, the natural landscape is dominated by
grasslands and forests. Siberia's climate is very severe; consequently, vegetation and
agriculture reflect these conditions. Northern Siberia is too cold for tree growth and is thus
dominated by tundra vegetation; it is also dominated by permafrost. South of the tundra
Siberia is dominated by taiga, or coniferous forests. The Russian Far East has a more
southerly location and is proximate to the Pacific Ocean; consequently, it has a relatively
milder climate and longer growing seasons. Its vegetation pattern is a mix of conifers and
hardwoods.
