Tamil Nadu's topography is characterized by its variety and diversity. Nearly 18% of the total land area comprises of forests that sprawls over the plains and the mountain slopes. Thorn forests, dry, deciduous forests, mangroves and scrubs are what thrives in the driers patches. The cooler regions and the Western Ghats are blessed with moist deciduous, wet, evergreen forests and grasslands.
