Trees all over the world Trees can be found all over the world. They grow in jungles, on mountains, in hot dry deserts and even in very cold areas. Trees can grow in many different types of places, but they all need sunlight and water to grow. Therefore, many kinds of trees have developed special ways to help themselves live in different places. In deserts, where there is not much rainfall, trees need to hold water. The baobab tree 猴面包树saves water in its trunk. The trunk gets smaller as it uses up the water. The northern areas of the world, like North America, Russia and Scandinavia, are covered with tall pine trees. These trees can live well though the sunlight is not very strong. Some mountain trees are very small and grow very close to the ground. This protects them from the strong winds that blow on the mountains. The tropical rainforests of the world are in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. There are millions of trees growing close together. In order to get more sunlight, some trees there grow up to 50 metres tall to catch the sunlight. Throughout the world, trees are being killed by acid rain. This is caused by pollution from cars and factories. The rain that falls on trees damages their leaves and stops them from growing properly. 1. Where does a baobab tree store water? 2.
