Answer:
Unfortunately, all trees have some potential to fail during heavy winds or other harsh elements, such as snow and ice.In these incidences, the tree trunk acts as a lever and the force applied to the roots and trunk increases with height and mass. Taller trees are more susceptible to windthrow.
"Windthrow" is a phenomenon that uproots a tree because the trunk acts as a lever applying force to the roots.Trees are more likely to uproot during strong winds especially if the tree is top-heavy which can also result in tearing, splitting and limb breakage
Taller trees with large canopies are also more susceptible to a may be weak and could break off during wind and rain storms.
