What causes the knucles to crack?

Actually, I believe I had been told that the cracking sound you hear when you bend your fingers/knuckles in such a way, is actually the sound of bubbles of gas between your joints popping. This always seemed logical to me, because in biology you learn about the different types of gases and acids in the body that build up in certain areas due to movement or lack of movement. The sound you hear when cracking knuckles is the sound of gas being released in the joints as the presume on them is relieved.

Why do trees make cracking sound?

Trees can make cracking sounds due to a phenomenon called "wind-induced stem breakage" which occurs when strong winds bend the tree causing internal stresses that lead to cracking. Another reason can be the expansion and contraction of the tree's sapwood as it absorbs or loses water, especially during temperature changes, which can cause the wood to crack.
