Farmers will often plant tall plants and shrubs alongside their wheat. Why would these plants help prevent the wind from changing the landscape and damaging crops?

 

The plants would do nothing to help with the wind storms, so they should not be planted.

The plants act as a windbreak or a barrier against the wind.

The plants absorb the water that is in the soil, which helps the wheat.

The plants absorb all of the wind that is in the air.
