the tree is in its dormant state, and is therefore not growing, which is what each ring represents.
You can tell a lot of things by looking at the rings of a tree. Rings of a consistent with throughout indicate the same climate each year but narrower rings indicate drought or a severe winter.
Tree growth rings (and some other kinds like those of shells) are caused by the difference in growth during the different seasons: autumn and winter less growth, spring & summer more growth.
Tree rings are circles on the wood of a tree that are laid down each year. You only see them when the tree is cut down. You can tell the age of the tree and what kind of summer it was any given year by counting them.
I think this question is incorrect, and should be What can be determined by the number of rings of a trees trunk; the answer of which is the age. Light and dark bands formed in the trunk equate to the summer and winter growth patterns of the tree. Count the dark (or light) rings and you can tell the age of the tree in years.
Tree rings or annual rings tell how old the tree is.
The inner ring. The tree grows a pith up the middle and grows outward from there. The summer wood, which grows in the spring and summer, makes the bulk of the wood, and the winter wood, grows in fall and winter, makes the darker, denser wood, referred to as the rings. It is because of the switching between the summer and winter wood that you can usually determine the age of a cut tree to within a year or two.
They give how old the tree is. Like if the tree has 800 rings, it is 800 years old. how many rings determine how old the tree is.
the rings on the top section of a tree trunk tell the age of the tree
the tree kangaroos dont chew sud because they cant cause their teeth arent made for it
The rings in a tree are for the tree's 'age'If you counted up the rings that would be the age of the tree.The dark thinner rings are slow growing wood from dry seasons and the lighter broader rings the wet seasons. If you count the dark rings, you are counting how old in years the tree was.
They mainly look at rings to figure out the age of the tree and how long it lived for
Could the rings on the inside of the tree, the more rings, the older it is.
