           Pine trees have specific characteristics to
           survive during strong seasonal wind and
           during hot and cold weather. Based on
           the specific characteristics mentioned,
           how do pine trees adapt themselves to
           climate and seasonal changes?
                                                                    pine tree          thick bark


             Flexible trunks, split leaves, needle-shaped leaves, modified leaves as
             spikes, water storing stems, long roots, fine hairs, rolling leaves, waxy
             leaves, shedding leaves, and thick bark are the specific characteristics
             of plants to adapt to climate and seasonal changes for the survival of their
             species.



                                   Bougainvillea trees will shed their leaves when the
                                   weather is hot and during the dry season. Why?

                                           Thick bark covering the trunks of trees prevent
                                           the absorbed water from freezing in an extremely
                                           cold climate.
