Case Analysis

Passage

Shanti’s next stop was the Sundarbans. To get there, they traveled by ship from Sri Vijaya Puram to Kolkata. The Sundarbans is a very different kind of forest. It is the largest mangrove forest in the world. As they moved through the water, Shanti saw many thin sticks poking out of the muddy ground. She asked her father, 'Appa, what are those?' He explained that the land here is very salty and muddy, so the trees have to breathe differently.

Question 1: Where are the Sundarbans located?

They are seen where the river Ganga meets the sea
The land in this area is muddy and salty

Question 2: What were the stick-like things Shanti saw in the water?

Those are the roots of the mangrove trees
They help the trees breathe in muddy salt water

Question 3: How do mangrove trees help protect the land they grow on?

Their roots hold the soil together tightly
They stop waves from washing the land away
