Question

read the following stanza
the forest has been shaped over millions of years,
the earth shifting and moving around it.
but these trees planted their roots at the beginning of time,
proudly rose up and patiently waited
while the rest of the world pieced itself into place.
what does this stanza explain?
it explains where the forest is located.
it tells how the forest protects the land.
it describes the size of the forest.
it discusses the history of the forest.
