Question

How amber is produced in plants?

Answer 1

Amber:

1. Amber is created from resin.
2. The resin is semi-solid and serves as a protective mechanism for the plant's immune system, whereas the sap moves nutrients throughout the tree.
3. Resin shields trees by filling gaps in the bark.
4. When resin covers a gash or breaks created by eating insects, it hardens and forms a seal.
5. The majority of amber found is 30-90 million years old.
6. Different hues of amber can have a variety of appearances.
7. Although amber typically has a light honey color, it can also be whitish, nearly black, blue, or red.
8. Amber is created from plant resin rather than tree sap.
9. Glass, contemporary plastics, synthetic and natural resins, as well as current materials, are used to create artificial amber.
