Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The conical design of trees prevents as much snow from falling as it would have on wider forms. The conical design of the trees also helps to make the snowfall very easy and to get the sunlight that allows the trees to adjust to that climate. Pine-like trees are known as coniferous trees.

Detailed explanation-2: -All conifers have cones, but not all evergreens have cones. Not all evergreens are conifers.
