Land plants face challenges such as predators (not specific only to land plants), gathering of water, natural disasters, changes in weather, becoming uprooted (by a number of events), and reproductive difficulties.
Predators is pretty obvious- fact that they can be eaten at any point.
Gathering of water- plants that live in water have an endless supply where the land plants must wait for rain.
Natural disaster- hurricanes, tornadoes, mud slides etc, all can destroy plants.
Changes in weather- example if it is spring and all the flowers and beginning to bloom and a snow storm hits, it can kill the flowers.
Becoming uprooted- animals, people, natural disasters, weather. All can uproot a plant.
Reproductive difficulties- rely on animals and insects to carry pollen, therefore allowing them to reproduce. Also must rely on weather. Some reproduce by letting the wind take the seeds or pollen where they need to go. In water this would be much easier with the constant movement of the water around them. Then for the seeds to grow they rely on all of the previous; predators not eating them, water, weather, good conditions all around.

I think you can pretty much guess how they get over them.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoWell I know one of them is reproduction without water.
plants evolved from algae so they had to face growing straight because of gravity and they had to face the weather and the winds

What can be done if the dog can't move and can't go to the bathroom?
The dog can be gently placed onto an old towl, or lifted on gently, and dragged gently to a place where it is okay if some urine gets onto the floor.. or if its really that bad that you can't even move the dog, slide newspaper under the dog without moving it and after cleaning the remains.
Why do plants and animals living in the water have a simpler reproductive system than those living on land?
Because the ones in water developed it first, and then when evolution moved some of those plants and animals onto land, they had to overcome the less accessto water. And in order to reproduce they had to develop more complex systems to 'mimic' the water environment. That is why all land animals exchange body fluids in the process of reproduction.
When did life first move onto land?
Animal life is believed to actually have begun on land, with some animals later moving into the water. Simple animals are known to have developed as early as 2 billion years ago, with gradually more complex organisms appearing, until a very short and huge expansion of life. This is thought to have happened around 550 to 530 million years ago, in what is called the Cambrian explosion. Plant life is understood to have originated in the water, and then either moved onto land or some combination of movement with preexisting land growth. Evidence for plantlife on land is varied, some being as old as 1.2 billion years although the majority of the oldest remains are 450 million years old.
When did the first land animals appear?
Dating from 542 million years ago, rocks of lineages that gave rise to modern organisms, as well as many lineages that have become extinct. During the early Palezoic, virtually all life was aquatic, but by about 400 million years ago, plants and animals were well established on land. ------------------------------------------------------------ Footprints of animals left on sand dunes about 530 million years ago indicates that animals ventured onto land early in the Cambrian.
What animal lives partly in water partly on land?
Frogs start out as tadpoles in the water, and later go onto land. Turtles also go from land to water. Many reptiles and amphibians live their lives in such a manner.
What condition made it beneficial for aquatic plants to move onto land?
Light energy to photosynthesize made it beneficial for aquatic plants to move onto land. Terrestrial environments allowed the plants to be able to absorb more sunlight in contrast to living beneath the surface of water.
How did plants move from water to land?
Plants moved onto land after algae was entrapped in evaporating ponds, and cast up to the sea shore, and as a majority died, a few survived to be the plants we see on land today.
What is a major trait which allowed plants to move onto and adapt to dry land?
The development of a protected embryo .
What was one of the earliest plants?
Algae are one of the oldest lineages, from before plants went onto land. Bryophytes are of the first lineage to live on land.
One of the greatest challenges for plants moving onto land was avoiding?
dehydration
What did plants have to avoid while moving onto land?
nothing at all because there was nothing their
What developments enable animal life to move from the sea onto land?
Lungs and limbs.
What was the proclamation line?
so the colonists wouldn't move west onto Indian land
Why did white settlers move onto Indian land in the Black Hills?
because of there culture
What causes a hurricane to lose energy when it move onto land?
it sops eating energy drinks and chocolate bars
What do the names of the three eras of the Phanerozoic mean?
Three eras of the Phanerozoic Eon.Carboniferous - 359.2-299 million years ago - Plants Covered the Earth.Devonian - 417-354 million years ago - The Age of FishSilurian - 443-26 million years ago - Plants Move Onto Land
What is a fossil made from prehistoric trees?
