1) Trees in equatorial forest grow tall.
Answers
In equatorial regions, it is hotter. More heat speeds up the water cycle- water evaporates quicker [thus though the other stages are regular speed, the cycle as a whole is more rapid due to the decrease of time it takes for one of the stages]
An expedited water cycle results in more rainfall. This nourishes the plant, even though the plant won’t need all that water. Its excess water is transpired and recycled back into the environment, where it comes back down.
The rapidity of the water cycle is but one factor. The second that I can pick off the top of my head is natural selection. With such lush vegetation in the equatorial regions (think rain forests), the survival tactic of spreading out but staying short won’t work because it is too crowded and because not much sunlight will seep through to the leaves. Therefore, the most viable survival tactic is to get tall fast so that the plant’s leaves are among the first to receive sunlight. In this situation, it is between getting sunlight first or waiting to receive none. Over time, natural selection kills off the wider trees in favor of the tall ones. [It is critical to take note that the thicker photosynthetic portions of the tropical trees are on top of it]
Lastly, like all trees, the taller trees tend to be the older ones. These are the trees that grew tall, survived, and continued to survive by continually growing.
Answer:
yes?
Explanation:
due to the high moisture content built up by the extreme heat they are exposed to, they are always fresh and wet. this is because this area receives more sun than others such as "the poles", so if you add all that heat to the huge amount of water it has, it creates a very humid and good environment for trees to grow, not to mention how trees depend on photosynthesis to survive, and if you consider the amount of sun these trees are exposed to its natural for them to grow so tall!
