Question

A tall tree has more chance to break during the storm, why?

Answer

One main reason, all three experts agree, is the phenomenon known as “windthrow” which uproots a tree. “The tree trunk acts as a lever and so the force applied to the roots and trunk increases with height,” says Foster. “Taller trees are more susceptible to windthrow.”

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
