Question

hole produced is then plugged in order to prevent infec principle of tree ring dating by using simulated core tion in the tree. By counting the number of xylem rings samples-one from tree (A) and one from a Fo in this tree and other trees in a given area, the average Ranger's cabin (X3 MATERIALS simulated tree core sample from a tree marked AA simulated tree core sample from a forest ranger's cabin marked x/ ROCEDURE: RT ing core sample A, compare to the following diagram. 1st Anua Ring Ring(1995) Bark 1. Core A is a copy of a core sample taken from a tree in 1995. Find the age of the tree by counting all the annual rings. Remember, each space between two grooves is one annual ring and represents one year of growth. Don't count the pith or the bark as these are not annual nings. How old was the tree when it was cut down? . If the last annual ting represents the growth of the tree during 1995, what year is represented by the first annu ring? How old was the tree in this year? In what year were you born? Remembering that wide rings represent wet years and narrow rings dry years, was your birth year a wet or year? Was 1950 a wet or dry year?

Explanation / Answer

Ans-1 ans-64 years when counting rings.

Ans-2 growth of the tree during 1995-age of the tree- 1995-64 = 1931 years

Ans-3- In 1987 so that age of the tree will be 56 years

1995- 1987 = 8 years

64 years- 8 years= 56 years

Wet years
