How do tree rings show information about the climate?

The thicker the tree ring the more tropical climate they lived in. The thinner the tree ring the colder and drier the climate was. 80,000,000 years ago tropical trees lived in Greenland. This tells us that Greenland was a tropical island 80,000,000 years ago.


Do all trees have rings?

Under the bark of a tree is a layer called the cambium, which is the only living part of the trunk. This layer grows, adding new wood to the tree. A different kind of wood grows during the summer than in the fall. In the summer, the wood grows fast. It tends to be soft and light in color. In the fall, a denser kind of wood grows. This wood is more watertight and prevents the tree from drying out in the winter. So in many kinds of trees, especially in areas that have harsh winters, each year can be counted with a light area and dark area that go all the way around the tree, forming a ring.


Why plants in the tropics do not have growth rings?

In tropics, the weather is relatively consistent throughout the year, which results in continuous growth without distinct periods of dormancy that create growth rings.
