How do ferns grow on trees?
Spores from adult fern plants get carried in the in the wind and grow on trees.
What are some trees that bend when there is high wind along the Mississippi River?
Pine.
Why are trees moving?
Trees are moving due to the wind blowing against their branches and leaves, causing them to sway and bend.
Why do trees bend in response to environmental factors?
Trees bend in response to environmental factors such as wind, sunlight, and gravity in order to optimize their growth and survival. This bending allows trees to better adapt to their surroundings and maximize their access to resources like sunlight and water.
Do poplar trees have separate sexes?
Yes. The male and female flower grow on separate trees and pollination is by wind.
How do plants grow on hill tops?
on hills or mountains trees grow on there side it is formed that way because of the wind
Why do the trees beside the roads bend towards the road?
I think this is because of wind. When vehicles go through road afterwards wind generated in the longitudinal direction of road which wind pulls brances of tree in its direction.
What prevents the trees in the rain forest from blowing over?
Trees that live in places with high winds are able to bend with the wind. Also, all plants have roots that help keep them in the ground.
Can trees also obtain energy from the wind bending their leaves and branches?
Trees get their energy to grow from respiration and sunshine. The sound energy of 'rustling' and the kinetic energy of leaves in motion is the energy drawn from the wind.
How does pipal tree reproduce?
Pipal trees reproduce through seeds that are dispersed by animals or wind. When conditions are favorable, the seeds germinate and grow into new trees. Pipal trees can also propagate through root suckers, which are shoots that grow from the roots of the parent tree.
Are trees that grow in windy places different from trees that grow in non-windy places?
Trees that grow in windy places will likely bend to the opposite direction of the air flow (ex. wind mostly from northwest all year will make the tree grow pointing southeast). In coastal areas, for instance, it's common to see deformed trees. I don't know whether there are more resistant species than others, but most trees will eventually suffer from the action of constant wind. There are techniques to imitate this deformation. Bonsai masters often use it to create true pieces of art out of small trees. I advise you to search more on this topic. EDIT: I did it and here's what I got, (...) Prevailing winds may deform trees so that most of the growth is on the downwind side. Depending on wind conditions and the kind of tree, the main leader may or may not be bent by the wind. Many trees, e.g. most conifers, liquidambar, planetree, have the ability to resist being bent by moderately strong prevailing winds. Trees in windy location develop laterals more extensively on the downwind side. In certain situation, such a condition may be picturesque and desirable-if not, remedial pruning for more balanced growth can be done. In windy locations open up the top of the tree by thinning out moderate-size branches. The tree will offer less wind resistance. Thin back branches on the downwind side to laterals to keep the tree more symmetrical. You may need to head curving branches on the windward side near the point at which they begin to bend with the wind. Prune to a bud pointing into the wind. Prune to a bud pointing into the wind. You may need to repeat this each time the endmost new shoot starts to be bent by the wind. Such a branch will be stockier and able to resist bending. One such pruning may correct the problem. (...)

Why branches of trees move and bend freely in high wind velocity?
The fibers in the tree are not strong enough to stay still and hold in place, so they sway to prevent from snapping
