Question 13 • SC332 Environmental Science B

How do trees improve water quality?

Answer
A
Tree roots anchor soil in place, preventing runoff.
B
Water is filtered as it passes through the root systems of trees.
C
An adult tree can store nearly 250 gallons of water.
D
All of the above

Explanation

Tree roots help hold soil in place, reducing erosion and runoff. Water can also be filtered as it moves through the soil and tree root systems, and an adult tree can store nearly 250 gallons of water. Since all three statements describe ways trees help, “All of the above” is correct.
