Question 10 While looking in the yard, Jill noticed that the areas directly under the trees had less grass than the other areas in the yard. Which of the following is the BEST explanation for this observation? A The trees are blocking the sunlight. B The grass is receiving too much fertilizer. 2 C The areas under the trees are too cool for grass to grow. D The areas under the trees are receiving less water.

The trees are blocking the sunlight.

Explanation:

B is obviously not the answer because fertilizer wouldn't have that effect. For C, shade doesn't change the temperature that much that it would inhibit plant growth. For D, even if the tree blocks the water, the surrounding ground will still be wet and therefore the grass should still have a sufficient amount of water to grow.  Sunlight can't be gotten from somewhere else, unlike water, so this would inhibit plant growth.

i would think it's food chain

heats surface water up
