Question:

A person practicing nomadic herding in the Tundra region of Eurasia moved to the southern part during winters. Why did he do so?

Options:

Due to political restrictions

New settlement plans by the government

Presence of water resources.

Due to severe winter conditions.

Correct Answer:

Due to severe winter conditions.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Due to severe winter conditions.

In the Tundra region of Eurasia, winters are extremely harsh with freezing temperatures, limited daylight, and scarce food availability for both people and animals. Nomadic herders migrate southwards during winters to escape these severe winter conditions and to find better grazing grounds for their livestock.
