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.
when the tree first sprouts, it is small. Then the winter comes and it doesn't grow for a while. When sumer comes, it starts to grow again, but the dirt and other elements that colored the tree remain.This color is covered up by the new layer which continues to grow until the next winter,when it stops. This process repeats as long as the tree lives. tha is why the rings form. In fact,you can tell how old a tree is by looking at the rings, each ring is a year. Hope I helped.

You could tell the age of the tree by the rings by counting the rings.The ring equal one year. example: If 500 rings are in the trunk then it will be 500 years.
incorrect the tree with most rings is the oldest
Tree rings. Each year, a new ring is formed in the secondary xylem of stem.
Look at the rings of the inside trunk of the tree or how tall it is. Another you can count the stems on it or leaves
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!!
the rings on the top section of a tree trunk tell the age of the tree
The rings in a tree trunk are referred to as secondary growth. This is when the tree grows outward, rather than upward. The rings form once a year.
the tree's age
The age of the tree
No. The trunk is the oldest part . Counting the rings of the trunk is how you tell the trrees' age.

Tree rings or annual rings tell how old the tree is.
To determine how old a tree is you must chop it down and count how many rings are in the trunk. Use a coring drill bit and count the rings that way. This keeps the tree alive.

If you cut open the tree, there are rings inside the trunk, and you count the rings, so if there are 50 rings, that tree was fifty years old when cut down.
Yes it does, but some oak trees do not.
