Why should you not place a rain gauge under a tree?

Placing a rain gauge under a tree can lead to inaccurate measurements due to interference from the tree canopy and branches. Trees can block rainwater from reaching the gauge directly, resulting in underestimation of rainfall. It is best to place a rain gauge in an open area away from any obstructions to obtain reliable measurements.


Is it harder to make a fire in snow or rain?

It is generally harder to make a fire in wet conditions, such as rain, as moisture can dampen the materials needed to start a fire. In snowy conditions, you can still make a fire using dry wood beneath the snow or by creating a platform to keep the fire off the wet ground.


What causes a tree to become petrified?

Wood petrification is the process in which organic material is converted to stone by becoming impregnated with silica. The wood becomes soaked with mineral-laden water. The water evaporates at about the same rate as the wood decays and mineral crystals replace the wood.


What happens when lightning hits a tree?

When lightning strikes a tree, it can create a path of least resistance, usually along the outer bark, leading to heating and vaporization of the tree's sap. This can cause the bark to explode and the wood to split. The intense heat can also start a fire, either immediately or later on due to lingering embers.


What type of wood grows on a evergreen tree?

Evergreen trees such as pine, spruce, cedar, and fir produce softwood. This type of wood is commonly used in construction, furniture-making, and woodworking due to its strength, flexibility, and resistance to rot.
