【名词解释】

passive locomotion:

Animals can be carried by sth in the environment without using their own efforts to find food resources.

【教授举例】

Let’s take spider as an example. As we all know spiders can move by walking or jumping, but that won’t let them go far. Sometimes spiders will use winds to help them move. They climb onto a high point, say the top of a tree, and then generate silk. Because spiders are light, the wind will carry them when they attach to the silk and give them a free ride.

Tropical plants in the mountain area develop special physical traits in order to adapt to local environment.

There are two main physical changes in these plants’ evolution:

1. Radiation in tropical area can be harsh. Mountain plants develop special cells like hair to block intense sunlight.

2. Temperature changes dramatically during the day and at night in mountain areas. So some local plants develop a set of larger leaves on top to keep warm at night when temperature is below 0℃.
