Question

The mountain trees at higher altitudes are shorter in height as air is thinner and the environmental conditions are too harsh above.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Trees cannot grow at higher elevations due to harsh winds and extreme climates. The area at which trees cease to grow in the mountain range is known as the timberline or treeline. These plants grow very low to the ground, allowing them to stay below the snowpack in winter months so they are not pelted with ice and snow.
