Which hydrocarbon rings are most common in nature?
Rings with 5 or 6 carbon atoms
What causes the growth of food for most animals in the great rift valley?
Growth for grazing animals in the grasslands of the Rift Valley is dependent on annual rains.
Color of saturns rings?
Saturn's rings are a variety of colors. Brown, pink, and grey are the most common colors found in the rings.
What the most common way to grow bacteria is?
The most common way to grow bacteria is in an agar petri dish. The bacteria are usually placed by a swab into the petri dish and incubated for a predetermined period of time (The agar serves as a food source for the bacteria). Then, growth, or no growth, of bacteria will be observed.
What are the rings around planets called?
The rings around planets are called rings, or solar rings. Saturn is a planet that is most famous for having rings around it.
Do all vascular plants develop annual rings?
No, they don't.Vascular plants are those which have phloem and xylem structures within them to transport water and nutrients around the plant. Most of the plants you see around you are vascular. Think about grass or herbaceous plants - you won't find growth rings in those if you cut them through the middle, because they do not have cambium in their vascular bundles to initiate secondary growth. Most of the subtropical trees also do not develop annual growth rings although they have cambium because their apical growth never stops.Growth rings occur in plants having cambium and growing in a situation where there is disparity in the seasonal growth. During active growth period, as in spring season, more conduction of raw materials takes place hence the trachieds are broader and during autumn season when the plant prepares for winter, there is lesser conductivity through the xylem elements which makes their trachieds smaller. Thus the rings are caused by differential seasonal growth of xylem elements.----------------------------------In addition, since the tropical climates don't have the large changes in temperature and light hours that the temperate zones have, the vascular, woody plants don't have annual rings. They may form "growth" rings though. If they have a severe dry spell or severe hot or cool spell, or a grass fire, etc., then the tree may develop a pause in active growth and thereby form a "growth" ring. A tree in the tropics could form one growth ring in five years. Then again, it could form five growth rings in one year (that would be a rough year)The term growth ring is a better, more inclusive term than annual ring.Phloem

All cucurbit family and annual vegetables Tomatoes
How do you tell the age of a tree?
Determining the age of a tree is fairly easy. It involves simply counting the growth rings that can be seen on the surface of a log or on an increment core from the trunk of a tree. Each ring represents the growth produced during one growing season but contains two parts that can be distinguished on the basis of color: the early wood, less dense, is whitish in color; and the late wood, more dense, is darker in color and forms during the summer. Counting the growth rings tells us the number of growing seasons the tree has been through, and hence the age of the tree. Some tree's have quite allot of rings!!
Who makes silver curtain rings?
IKEA is probably the most common of supplier of silver curtain rings, but most makers of curtains and curtain rings will have a set in silver including Power Glides.

What kinds of stones are mounted in these rings?
I'm not sure which rings you are referring to but diamonds and gemstones are usually the most common types that are mounted.
Do wide tree growth rings indicate cooler climate?
Perhaps but they do indicate more and lusher growth most likely due to more water, nutrients and sunlight.
