Question

If a person was climbing near the tops of the Rocky Mountains, what kind of vegetation would he or she find?



Group of answer choices

A large variety of plants, trees, and shrubs

Trees that lose their leaves in the fall

Very few or no trees

Tall, sturdy pine trees

Answer 1

The best answer is:

Very few or no trees

At high elevations in the Rocky Mountains, the climate becomes harsher, leading to a decrease in vegetation. The tree line typically marks the zone where trees can no longer grow. Above this line, vegetation is often limited to shrubs, grasses, and alpine plants.
