Why do coniferous forests are conical in shape?
"Snow accumulates on branches and leaves or needles when there is high snowfall. The conical shape of conifer trees (mountain) prevents as much accumulation of snow as there would be on a wider shaped tree. The conical shape of the tree also helps to get the snow to fall off the tree quickly and to get the sunlight and as you know coniferous forests are present in such areas hence this is the reason." :- Answer created by itzraisingstar.
