Answer 1

Answer: A deciduous trees grow mostly outward

Explanation: Deciduous trees have a more rounded shape than coniferous trees because they spread their leaves out and wide to create a large surface area for sunlight absorption. Deciduous trees often have branches that spread out as they grow, while conifers extend upward, acquiring a triangular shape.
