84 - How does climate affect the types of plants that grow in an area?

Climate plays a big role in deciding which plants can grow in a certain area. Here's how:

  1. Temperature: Some plants are sensitive to extreme heat or cold. If it's too hot or cold, they can't survive.
  2. Rainfall: Plants need water to grow. Areas with a lot of rainfall can grow plants that need a lot of water, while dry areas can only grow drought-resistant plants.
  3. Sunlight: Some plants need full sunlight to grow, while others prefer shade.

Different climates create different environments, and plants adapt to these environments. That's why:

So, the type of plants that grow in an area depends on the climate, making each place unique and special.
