Answers
Answer:
a) Plants with a constant stream of wind blowing over them may develop wilted leaves and brown edges from desiccation. The plants may need water, but chances are good that the wind is simply drying the leaves faster than the roots can pull water from the soil.
b) Strong winds cause trees to sway, pulling and stretching their roots. The movement disrupts root-soil contact, decreasing water absorption and increasing the severity of water stress in trees.
c)The wind effect on plant growth results in thickening of leaf blade, reduction of leaf radius, reduction in stem elongation, and increase in stem radius and influences the direction of growth to align more closely with the wind vector, when its direction is consistent for a length of time. )
d) Clouds move because the wind is carrying the parcel of cloudy air along. Wind occurs at all levels of the atmosphere from the ground up to higher than a jumbo jet can fly. Sometimes there can be no wind on the ground, but cirrus clouds very high up can be seen moving because of the wind where they are.
e) The poet is feeling joyful because she is enjoying by the beautiful nature and the wild winds.
