Tree Growth and Environmental Factors

The video explores how environmental factors influence tree growth, focusing on Magellan's beech trees in Tierra del Fuego, which grow sideways due to constant wind. It also discusses how indoor plants grow towards windows for sunlight, illustrating how environment alters plant traits.

What is unique about the growth pattern of Magellan's beech trees?

• They grow taller than other trees.

• They grow underground.

• They grow sideways.

• They have no leaves.

What is a common trait among most trees in the world?
