Compared to annual rings of trees that have experienced years of sufficient rainfall the annual rings of trees that have experienced a dry period will?
be thinner
What are annual growth rings most common in?
Annual growth rings are commonly studied in trees.
What are annual rings how do they form?
When water is scarce, like in summer time, the cambium layer produces many small xylem (the plant "water pipes") to make it easier to draw water. when water is abundent, like in winter, there is no need for many small xylem and the cambium layer produes larger "pipes". since this process runs in a cycle every year annual rings are formed where in the dark area is where the numerous small "pipes" are and the light area is where the bigger ones are. since one ring is formed every year the number of rings equals the age of the tree. note that this only occors in a temperate climate where one has a seasonal cycle, in a tropical region when water availability is equal throughout the year trees do not form annual rings.zaf. In trees and other woody plants, this is the layer of wood produced each year that can be seen when the wood is cut into a cross section.
What is the function of the annual rings?
To age the tree the amount of annual rings you have indicates the number of years the tree has been around Each year of a trees growth, the tree experiences more or less rain according to season, at least in the temperate zones of the earth. The cell structure is more or less dense accordingly. This gives the appearnce of rings. In areas of constant drought like desserts, or constant rain, like rain forests this does not happen. The process of recording the annular rings in the trees of a specific area is called dendrochronology. Of course if an englishman were to count the rings in his teak wood desk it would only tell him about the rain patterns in some far off unknown jungle. This method works fine for trees grown in Northern Europe, North America, etc

Why do tropical hardwood trees have small spacing between their annular rings?
In the tropics trees do not stop growing. they grow at a constant speed throughout the seasons because in the tropics it is alsways hot and humid. Tropical trees do not have "annual growth rings" per se, meaning that the rings seens in a cross section are just growth rings (not annual ones). This is in contrast to trees that grow in the temperate zones that have 4 well defined seasons. In these zones the trees do not grow in winter. In the spring, with new growth, the cambium layer of the tree trunk puts out new xylem and phloem cells which form a new "annual ring" over the cells which stopped growing during winter. These are genuine "annual rings" and tropical trees do not have these because they do not experience periods of growth and non-growth.
Which environment would be most likely to produces trees without annual rings?
tropical rain forest
What are the similarities between deciduous and coniferous trees?
they both produce things like cones and flowers and both have annual rings of xylem in the stems.
In temperate areas tree rings can be counted to determine the age of a tree in tropical areas trees have xylem rings what do the rings in tropical trees measure?
In tropical trees, the rings in the xylem are not annual like the growth rings in temperate trees. Instead, they can represent periods of growth that may be influenced by factors such as rainfall patterns, rather than yearly cycles. Therefore, they do not provide a reliable way to determine the age of a tree as tree rings do in temperate regions.
Are the trees in the Lord of the Rings robots?
No, the trees in Lord of the Rings were computer animated.
A dendrochronologist interprets what?
The study of climate changes and past events by comparing the successive annual growth rings of trees or old timber.For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section indicated below.dendrochronology (dndr-kr-nl-j) The study of growth rings in trees for the purpose of analyzing past climate conditions or determining the dates of past events. Because trees grow more slowly in periods of drought or other environmental stress than they do under more favorable conditions, the size of the rings they produce varies. Analyzing the pattern of a tree's rings provides information about the environmental changes that took place during the period in which it was growing. Matching the pattern in trees whose age is known to the pattern in wood found at an archaeological site can establish the age at which the wood was cut and thus the approximate date of the site. By comparing living trees with old lumber and finding overlapping ring patterns, scientists have established chronological records for some species that go back as far as 9,000 years.
How many rings does a tree developer year?
Just one per year. That's why they're called "annual rings". Scientists use Dendrochronology to date trees and can usually tell within a calender year, depending on the age of the tree.
Does a palm tree have rings?

What is denrochronology?
the analysis of tree rings and dating trees according to their rings.
What do a trees rings show about it?
age
