Yes, conifer needles have a waxy coating that helps to reduce water loss by slowing down transpiration. This adaptation helps them retain water in dry or cold conditions.
No. Hurricanes lose strength when they move over land. Thunderstorms can easily form and become very strong over both land and water.
The needles provide protection from animals that feed on cacti. They also provide shade in some species with dense coverings of spines. The needles were originally leaves that evolved over years to needles. Leaves lose much more water to the atmosphere that the spines do. Cactus spines also act as condensation collectors, especially in arid regions with daily fogs like the coastal strip of the Atacama Desert in South America. In addition to watering the cactus, the water dripping off the spines is an important source of moisture for local wildlife. Some cactus spines even provide a means of propagation by clinging to passersby and causing a segment of the cactus stem to detach from the parent plant, which it does quite easily, and travel with the host animal to wherever the animal dislodges it and the stem can now grow again in a new spot.Easy to answer. Some animals want the water from the cactus, but they can't because of the needles
Yes, all hydrates lose water after heating.
easily gain electrons
Hydrates lose water when heated because the thermal energy disrupts the bonds holding the water molecules within the crystal structure, causing them to evaporate. When exposed to moisture, the hygroscopic nature of hydrates allows them to reabsorb water from the environment, restoring their original crystalline form. This process is reversible, making hydrates useful in various applications where controlled water release is needed.
The "needles" on a pine tree or other conifer are the plant's leaves, where photosynthesis takes place. The needles are long and slender because of the environment of the trees. Needles lose less water and heat than typical leaves.
Deciduous trees are trees that lose their leaves. Trees that don't lose their leaves are "Evergreens". Evergreen trees have needles, instead of flat leaves, to survive winter hardship. Needles cut evaporation so trees can save water - dear in the winter. Not all trees that bear needles are evergreen, for example the larch drops it's needles in the Autumn.

evergreen?
Coniferous trees do not lose their needles because they are called "evergreen" trees which means the tree stays green for ever!
Trees lose water through transpiration (the passing of water vapor to the atmosphere). Pine needles are waxy, have a small surface area and have a groove in which the stomata are located. These features reduce transpiration.
If you don't you may lose them.
So they don't dehydrate/lose water as easily in deserts and die.
No, pine trees do not have leaves. They have pine needles that have a waxy coat on them. People refer to them as pine leaves sometimes, but that isn't what they are.
Blue spruce trees may lose needles at the bottom due to stress factors such as lack of water, poor soil conditions, or pests. It is important to address these issues promptly to help the tree regain its health.
If you mean when you first start its because you lose water weight. Also if youre very heavy you'll lose more weight then only a slight overweight person.
They do not have leaves like decidous trees, therefore they lose less water via surface area.Conifers also have a waxy coating on there needles which helps prevent water loss.
