Answers
Answer:
tropical deciduous
Explanation:
One of the tropical hardwood tree species is teak. It is a deciduous tree that grows in mixed hardwood forests. They have small, fragrant white flowers at the end of the branches, arranged in dense clusters. The large and papery leaves of these trees consist of hairy like structures on the lower surface. Teak wood has a characteristic leather-like smell when it is freshly milled and is particularly valued and renowned for its durability and water resistance. This wood is used in boat building, veneer, carving, exterior construction, furniture, turnings, and small wood projects. Teak is best known for its high-quality wood. Teak has some natural oils which make it useful in the exposed locations. It also makes the timber termite and pest resistant. If teak wood is not treated with oil or varnish, then also it is durable. The deciduous plants ate the trees, shrubs, and herbaceous perennials which lose all of their leaves for a part of the year. Teak wood is found in the deciduous forests.
