What seems to be the major difference between a deciduous <br> forest and a coniferous forest
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Differences between coniferous and deciduous forest lie in their names.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>
  • One of the biggest differences between forests is in their names.
  • Coniferous means 'cone bearing,' and these are trees that have cones, like pine trees.
  • Most conifers are considered evergreens, because they never lose their leaves and are 'forever green,' regardless of the season.
  • Deciduous means 'falling off'.
  • Deciduous trees, on the other hand, lose their leaves each year, which are mainly comprised of trees such as oaks and maple trees.

Result: the difference lies in their name.
