Question
Advantage and Survival Quick Check
Park rangers in national parks and forests of California schedule controlled forest fires. How can they do this without destroying giant sequoia trees? (1 point)
• Scheduled forest fires do destroy giant sequoia trees. Rangers do this deliberately to provide space for new trees to grow.
The seeds of the sequoia's cone are not released when the cone hits the ground. The cone is instead opened by the heat of a forest fire. Without fire, the sequoia trees cannot reproduce.
• The bark of the sequoia tree is fire resistant.
The rangers rope off the sequoia trees so that the fire doesn't spread to the area of the forest where the sequoia trees

The correct answer is: **The bark of the sequoia tree is fire resistant.**
Giant sequoia trees have thick, fibrous bark that provides insulation against heat, allowing them to survive controlled fires that clear away underbrush and promote the regeneration of the forest ecosystem, including the reproduction of sequoias themselves.
