Giant sequoias have adapted to be remarkably resistant to which natural disaster?
A Floods
B Forest fires
C Tornadoes
Giant sequoias have fire-resistant, non-resinous bark, and their cones are known to open and drop seeds shortly after forest fires. However, climate change has brought more frequent wildfires and prescribed burns are now also used to clear flammable dead vegetation around the trees. This policy was praised for protecting Mariposa Grove from the Washburn Fire in July 2022.
The correct answer is Forest fires.
