Question

A certain tree does not survive well with extreme temperature variations. Which of the following adaptations will most likely aide in the survival of this species?

A) If the tree has thicker bark to protect against the cold
B) If the tree had thinner bark to stay cool in the heat
C) If the tree were located closer to the equator
D) If the trees seeds could not travel far for dispersal

Answer 1

The answer is C. This is correct because if the tree is near the equator, it will constantly be hot nearly everyday, because the Sun points straight at the equator. Because there is only one temperature, the tree doesn’t have to worry about dealing with the cold, only the heat.
