Question

Diffuse porous woods are characteristic of plants growing in:

• A. Alpine region
• B. Tropics
• C. Temperate climate
• D. Cold winter region

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Tropics

The tropics are the regions of Earth surrounding the Equator, where the sun may shine directly overhead. This contrasts with the temperate or polar regions of Earth, where the Sun can never be directly overhead. Due to the overhead sun, the tropics receive the most solar energy over the course of the year, and consequently have the highest temperatures on the planet.
