Question

• If the trees have broad leaves at the
time of snow fall season what will
happen?

Answer 1

Answer:

the snow will accumulate on the leaves and form like snowballs that will cause the twigs to bend and crack

Answer 2

If the trees have broad leaves at the time of the snowfall season, the branches of trees will break.

• Trees in the tundra regions have needle-like leaves instead of flat broad leaves.
• The above is an example of morphological adaptation.
• The heavy snowfall can cause the breakage of tree branches due to the weight of snow that can possibly gather on each leaf.
• Needle-shaped leaves also help in reducing the rate of transpiration since they have a much smaller area than a broad, flat leaf. Thus this adaptation also helps in saving water.
