🔍 Let's put your vocabulary to the test!
🌳 The correct answer is…
✨ The canopy of the trees
✅ A "canopy" refers to the cover formed by the tops of trees in a forest, which shelters the area beneath. Check out these examples:
🔸 Walking through the Amazon, you can't help but feel small beneath the expansive canopy that houses thousands of unique species.
🔸 Efforts to conserve the canopy are crucial, as it plays a key role in regulating the local climate and providing shelter to diverse wildlife.
🔸 Still largely undiscovered, the forest canopies of the earth are believed to hold roughly 40-50% of all species (The Economist)
🌄 The term "canopy" can also refer more broadly to any covering or shelter that resembles the canopy of a forest.
🔸 People are cycling about on four wheelers shaded by sun canopies and nearby a massive hotel and flats complex is shooting up. (The Economist)
