Which characteristic of a pine tree is an adaptation to the climate of the northwestern coniferous forests?
deep roots
conical shape
broad leaves

Pine trees have deep roots which enable them to adapt to the climate of the northwestern coniferous forests. Their roots extend deep down to the soil where oxygen content is limited and water is scarce. During the change of seasons when the soil is wet the roots tend to recede and when it is dry the roots tend to spread downward.

When the ball is rising up, it gains kinetic energy. when the ball reaches the very top, it will have all potential energy, until it falls back down and gains it kinetic energy. finally when you catch the ball or it falls back down, it would have gained its potential energy back.
