Question

The probability ofbreaking a taller tree is greater than shorter tree at the time of storm, why? ​

Answer 1

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.
