figureThe plastic behaviour of polymers is also influenced by their morphology, or arrangement of molecules on a large scale. Stated simply, polymer morphologies are either amorphous or crystalline. Amorphous molecules are arranged randomly and are intertwined, whereas crystalline molecules are arranged closely and in a discernible order.
The bristlecone pine is an amazing plant of the alpine biome. It lives in scattered, arid mountain regions of six western states of America ranging from Colorado to California. Many are found in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains of California.
California has many biomes including deserts, coastal beaches, and forests. Deserts are dry places in California near the center of the state, and are treeless, and mostly filled with sand and sand dunes. The only plants that are able to survive in the desert are cactuses.
